John Wilson Archives

An annotated reading of your world.

Because life has its odds and ends.

Seeing the invisible at church or a used bookstore.

Learning in bits and scraps of the inexhaustible creation.

As soon as I could read, I loved magazines. Even when I was a kid, I had a sense—which I couldn’t have put into words then—of the vastness of the world, its complexity and many-sidedness.

Who best holds the legacy of the great writer and farmer?
