A lifelong farmer and woodworker, Vic is owner of Seldom Rest Farm and co-owner of Hooterville Sawmill. Vic has found inspiration in the simple blessings of rural life and the people who have shaped his journey.
Following the loss of his first wife, Janet, in 2016, Vic turned to poetry as a way to express faith, preserve cherished memories, and encourage others. What began as a personal outlet soon became a way to comfort friends, celebrate family, honor loved ones, and express his unwavering faith in God.
Today, Vic lives in northwest Ohio with his wife, Cathie. His poems reflect a lifetime of experiences and serve as a reminder that life’s greatest blessings are found in faith, love, gratitude, and sharing happiness with others.
Some people tell stories through novels. Victor Bennett tells them through poetry.
