Ben Stephenson is the author of the novel A Matter of Life and Death or Something (Douglas & McIntyre, 2012). It prompted CBC Books to name him one of ten "Canadian Writers to Watch."
His work has appeared in The Puritan, EVENT, Joyland, King Skateboard Magazine, Best Canadian Stories, and other places. He participated in writing residencies at the Tatamagouche Centre and the Banff Centre. His visual art, including sculpture and installation, has been exhibited in various galleries, and he is the creator of the microGALLERY, a literal hole-in-the-wall artist-run center, located in the space left behind by a missing brick in one of NSCAD University's walls.
He grew up in New Brunswick, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NSCAD University, and an MFA from the University of British Columbia.
