J. Allen Wilson’s writings contain a large reflection of many of the unanswered questions of life. They weave a tale and pose the ponderous question…What if? They reach out with empathy and a love for all, and entice the reader to do the same. Often they touch on areas that sometimes we, as humans, try to avoid, yet at the same time draw the reader into this world and bring about an understanding. Love and loss, along with sometimes dark expressions of human nature, are evoked in J. Allen’s writings. Yet, astonishingly, even in this, there is hope.
