Benj DeMott is a member of First of the Month Writers’ Collective. He lives with his wife and son, across the street from his brother in New York City
-Benj DeMott, the editor not only of this compilation but of the
arresting, fractious, tabloid newspaper of the radical imagination
from which it is drawn, started publishing First of the Month in
1998, with what he likes to call a -crew- of fellow
writers...intelligent, passionate, polemical writers ... I was
impressed all over again with the contributions of Lawrence Goodwyn
on Polish Solidarity, of Ellen Willis on the New York intellectuals
... of Fred Smoler on the Danish cartoon controversy or the 2004
commemoration of the Normandy landing, a first-hand account that
for its generosity and insight could stand comparison with Norman
Mailer's best journalism.-
