From a young age, Ben Curtis knew he wanted to write, in fact, felt destined to do it. Enjoying opportunities to put pen to paper throughout junior high and high school, he went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree in English Creative Writing from Whitworth University in 1999.

For the last two and a half decades, he has tried to tell the stories of those often neglected and forgotten in our society through his poetry and prose. The culmination of this work, combined with his vocation of serving the least of these on the streets of Seattle for nearly twenty years, is now his first ever published book.
