The Great Book of Bob eBook

The Great Book of Bob is a unified collection of humorous, soul-wrenching, and harshly honest tales and thoughts gleaned from a lifelong love story—stories of a poet’s love of sunrises, poetic epiphanies, laughter, and for the soul mate of his life. And the best part about it, it’s not some icky-sticky, lovey-poo bunch of hearts and flowers. It’s hard-edged wonder and real reason for all of us to be glad to be alive. Robert Nichols tells his stories that we may each realize the significance of our own. He describes his work as: Stories and rants and impassioned blessings for the soul—the wild-eyed, bliss-bludgeoned decades of an American poet… And all of it in a book about you, Dear Reader. YOU!

Robert Nichols on his writing: I was fifteen when I determined I would be a writer. In the ensuing decades, my commitment to the art and craft of written communication has not lessened. Though practical considerations (like making a living) have laid claim to large portions of my time and energy, at the heart of all my endeavors I have remained steadfast to the calling of a poet. Regardless of literary genre, my words are driven by a soul-deep intent to fully experience the challenge and fascination of life and, most significantly, to communicate what is gleaned from this grand encounter. When I write a poem, a novel, an essay, a grocery list, or an e-mail to my insurance agent, I do so as one whose life is committed to a principle of writing with clarity, wit, and compassion. The goal of my art: to intimately express the Universal.
