Benjamin Soileau

BENJAMIN SOILEAU is a proud Cajun who self-exiled from South Louisiana to the Pacific Northwest in search of the blank page pressed from Douglas fir pulp. His curious tales of the odd beneath the ordinary are written through the lens of a zillion jobs and a habit of questionable living situations. Now reasonably employed, he spends daylight hours behind the wheel of a beer delivery truck in Portland, Oregon, where he lives with his wife, Kennedy. His work has appeared in Fried Chicken & Coffee, Border Crossing, The Rag, Hobo Pancakes and Eclectica Magazine.
