 Ben Trigg is the co-host of Two Idiots
Peddling Poetry at the Ugly Mug in Orange, California. As a host, he
works to remind people that poetry is often fun, and sometimes silly. When
not at the Ugly Mug, Ben spends his time using a BA in drama to work in
educational research. He's also known to be lost in a comic book at any
given moment. He has performed throughout
Southern California, parts of the Northeastern U.S., and in Texas as part of the Austin
International Poetry Festival. His first full length collection
Kindness from a Dark God came out on
Moon Tide Press in
2007. He was published in the Orange
County/Long Beach Poets Anthology, Incidental Buildings and Accidental
Beauty, and the California Poets Anthologies So Luminous The Wildflowers
and Blue Arc West. Ben was also one of the organizers behind the first Orange County
Poetry Festival in 2002, as well as subsequent festivals in 2003 and 2004. He is currently
satisfied with his lot in life, and is trying to figure out how to write
about that. |
