A Casual Update About Release Week


Hey there! Casual Rambler here, just wanting to thank you for reading my blog. I try to avoid marketing myself and I don’t like paywalling content. That’s why most of this website, if not all, is free. However, subscribing to my Patreon helps me keep doing it. Patrons gain exclusive early access to poetry & other creative works. Thanks again and please enjoy the rest of the site!


The Casual Ramble Sept. 20, 2026

Howdy, Casual Ramblers,

Happy release week! Or it would be, if I didn’t find some errors in the proof. No harm done, the edits are already submitted, the physical proof will soon be on its way & the print copies soon after.

Moreover, I’m keeping the official release date of September 24. It’s my mother’s birthday & I wanted to mark the occasion. She has been my first & foremost supporter in all of my creative endeavours & thus Lyrics For a Song I Don’t Know has been dedicated to her in a way that goes beyond just the words inside the book.

[Editor’s Note: Happy Birthday, Mum!]

Because it has also been about two weeks since I last updated everyone Lyrics, I want to remind everyone of the release plans (very much so including myself because, well, festival season):

–Firstly, all of my Patreon Paid Subscribers prior to September will receive a signed copy of Lyrics, numbered & sealed with a letter & poem

–Secondly, all free members of the Casual Ramble can purchase a signed copy for $15, plus shipping.

[Editor’s Note: or unsigned for $12. Unfortunately I’m not quite at the feasibility to cover shipping.]

This is as good as any time to say that joining the Casual Ramble on Patreon is totally free & comes with early access to essays, rambles, short films & more!

In fact, my next order of business is going to be working on said benefits, so take a chance now & a wildling fire dancer, poet & filmmaker.

Until the next episode,

–The Casual Rambler


I’d like to give thanks to my wonderful patrons, Jennifer, Carson, Christy, Chloe, Roshi, Zero & Phil as well as the many free members of the Casual Ramble. Without you, everything that has been would not be and everything that is to come would not happen. This post was released a week early to my Patreon supporters, if you’d like to receive early access to poetry, short films and other works, you can join the Casual Ramble Patreon via the link below!

About The Casual Rambler

An insane man moonlighting as a respectable member of society from Portland, Oregon. A rock ‘n’ roller since his mother first spun The Police’s “Roxanne,” Ben is a lover of all things independent music. Once upon a time, a friend told him to write about music. So he started doing that under the title of a Willie Bobo cover by Santana. Now he just casually rambles about whatever crosses his mind.
