Born nowhere in particular twenty years after the most significant event of his life, Larry Benjamin was raised in France. A graduate of Portland State University and Brown University, he has had several careers, from college professor to entrepreneur and back to educator. He has also been writing what may be poetry for the past twenty years. He now resides in the Deep South, not very far from nowhere in particular, with his wife, Mary, and two delinquent cats, Dexie and Ezra (the Scribe). He is a watch collector and a student of the first sword-style codified in Japan, Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū.
