Benne van der Velde is a poet, playwright, ex-rapper and much more. Always needing more. 5 volumes of poetry and an anthology of Dutch satirical poems published by 5 publishing houses in total so far. In everyday (some claim real) life Benne (1974) worked as an industrial tank cleaner, driving forklift trucks, in pest control, on a garbage truck, at a chemical waste disposal facility, on a Ferry and 10 years as a bartender in a coffeeshop. At the time of writing this resume he works at a bank, for which he evaluates mortgage applications. He’s been off the herb since 2008, has a wife, a dog, mild anxiety issues and likes to read every sci-fi and fantasy classic he can find.
