Benjamin
Fortier

I'm a dude that was born and raised in the northern part of Rhode Island. Since 2009, I've been self-publishing poetry, working in sports photography, and healing from a combat deployment to an incredibly violent city: Al-Falluja, Iraq (circa 2006).

It has taken me fifteen some odd years to reach into the depths of the young man you see in this photo and rip out the unrefined innards that made up the thoughts, memories, and emotions that drove me to join the Marine Corps after the effects of September 11, 2001.
