    Glen Wilson

    Bob was born in Wilmington, Delaware. In his teen years, he became fascinated reading English literature. While working as a medic in the Air Force working in a hospital, he learned compassion for his fellow man. After majoring in English in college, he found his future career in managing banks, growing up on the lake, spending his summer days by the ocean in Atlantic City. Bob developed strong emotions about the sea. "Of Smiles & Tears" is a book about those emotions, happy and sad, that we all have stored safely away in our hearts.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Joy

      May 5, 2022

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
