About Clara Benson

Clara Benson

Clara Benson is a mixed-race Latina who has been writing poetry since she was nine-years-old and participated in an Emily Dickinson poetry workshop at her local library. Before then she wrote stories, a passion which has continued into adulthood, and has since completed three full length novels. She now lives with her husband and baby boy in the New England countryside. Aside from her deep love for writing and reading—which, along with caring for a child, take up most of her time—she enjoys historical costuming, experimental cooking and going grocery shopping. She hopes to someday write from a tiny house in the woods, as off-grid as possible.
