Benjamin Buchholz’s body of work moves fluidly across forms: from inventive, stream-driven short fiction to intimate non-fiction and sharply crafted poetry; from rigorous military articles published in respected professional journals to generous, insightful essays on the art and discipline of writing. Together, these pieces reveal a writer equally at home in imaginative exploration and precise, real-world analysis.
