Born with a silver knife in his back, Ben Wright's exploits and
ordeals in his rites of passage toward self-discovery, range from
the extreme to the bizarre. His adventures were enhanced and
refined by extraordinary encounters with such Twentieth Century
luminaries as John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Admiral
Ruthven Libby, Jonas Salk, G. Gordon Liddy, Ray Charles, Paul
Robeson, Colonel Robbie Reisner, Herbert Marcuse, Angela Davis,
Eldridge Cleaver, "Free-Wheeling" Frank Reynolds, Jim Morrison,
Richard Brautigan, Michael McClure, Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Graves,
Juan Goytisolo, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Claribellle Alegria, and
cunning Charlie Bludorn. To escape upper-middle class mind-numbing
conformity and ennui, Ben joined the U.S. Navy after graduating
with honors from an Ivy League university. He served his country as
a commissioned line combat naval officer, was involved with the
first SEAL team, and became a court martial, Intelligence officer
in the Viet Nam era. Following military service, and after failing
as an Episcopalian priest, Ben became a blue-water sailor, survived
a North Sea mine-field Force 12, and also engaged in working as an
archeologist/mythographer. He worked as an actor in American
feature films, radio broadcaster and producer, but was redeemed to
near bodhisattvahood in Tibetan Buddhism. He also served in prisons
for forty-eight years as an alcohol and drug counselor (himself a
recovered alcoholic of thirty-one years sobriety), founding Clarion
Call, a foundation to end recidivism through education. So indulge
yourself within these pages, savoring these true life adventures of
this Twenty-first Century Renaissance Man, and you will be asking
for more. Reserve the second volume, Authenticity: Inimitable
Quintessential.
