Benjamin Clymer 's Gift
"There is absolutely nothing about this book that I didn't like. This book is a truly inspirational read." - Claudette Smith
Benjamin Clymer was a farmer whose wife taught him to read when he was twenty-three. Devastated after her untimely death and the death of their young son, he abandoned the farm and took a job as a woodcarver in a furniture factory. Alone in a room in a boarding house, books transported him into other people’s worlds, allowing him to briefly forget his grief.

My Story
I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Reading was my escape from the legendary Buffalo winters and probably contributed to my becoming a writer.
I began writing poetry while I was in graduate school, some of which was published in small literary magazines. The first sentence in REALITIES—My children are gambling— was the first line of a poem that grew into a novel. It was gratifying to see REALITIES published, not only in the United States but in England and Sweden, where it was a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
My Books
“Quis blandit erat. Donec laoreet libero non metus volutpat consequat in vel metus. Sed non augue id felis pellentesque. Luctus lectus non quisque turpis bibendum posuere. Morbi tortor nibh, fringilla sed pretium sit amet.”
