Benjamin Weberink was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 2002, and has since lived across Europe, gathering impressions of places, voices and images that shape the texture of his writing.

His work sits in the space between beauty and unease. It does not try to hide the rough edges; instead, it brings them forward in a way that feels both poetic and brutally honest. He is drawn to the medieval world, with its mix of devotion and brutality, and to the sea, which is beautiful but also violent and unpredictable, all of which are essential to his work.

With his new book, White Headache, he deepens this vision, exploring the fragile boundary between life and memory.

Benjamin is the founder of Kastle Five Press.
