Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter writes philosophy and poetry. Bennett-Carpenter is the author of Information Rhetorics (Routledge forthcoming 2026) and two other books. Publications also include poems in Superpresent, Book of Matches, and Kitchen Table Quarterly; and chapters/articles in Kenneth Burke and His Circles, L.A (SO) the Story Goes, Zygon, and Cosmos and History. He teaches at a public university in the Great Lakes region of North America and consults/coaches (executive, life, creative). STATEMENT: My work engages rhetorical, psychological, and behavioral strategies. These strategies operate within particular cultural niches. Generally these cultural niches for me include: • interpersonal, analytic, & poetic discourses • particular communities, organizations, & societies • arts & media experience, and • particular personal-but-shared micro-cosms/paracosms. Specifically I am interested in how we human beings "compose our world(s)" in relation to: • conceptions of information organization, reproduction, & growth • mortality & human life • affect/emotion & creativity, and • assessing present situations & envisioning/enacting the future. My central efforts seek to understand, negotiate, and facilitate what I see as individual and collective struggles for survival, well-being, and inspiration in a complex, uncertain world. I do this through observing, experiencing, listening, talking, watching, reading, traveling, writing, consulting, and coaching. Action may lead to ideas. Ideas may lead to action. In the middle of all this, we feel the moment - and anticipate the future. -Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter Writing | Consulting / Coaching | Teaching | Bio | Contact |
