“Love settled on the smile across the room and said: This is she. You shall cherish her all your years: her radiance today, her beauty in the middle passage, her loveliness in age. She is yours to keep and hold.” In Love Poems for My Wife, Victoria , George Hobson allows us into the intimate world of his God-given love for his wife. He takes us on a journey through the lifetime of their love from when they met, through many snapshots of their experiences to Victoria’s illness and his heartbreaking hope and prayers to the Lord. We get a sense of her goodness, compassion and love of life as well as the strength of their love and togetherness which has deepened with time and knowledge, all portrayed through his intense and powerful imagery. George Hobson is an Episcopal priest and Canon to the Bishop for Theological Education in the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe. He has taught theology in seminaries and theological colleges in many developing countries, including Rwanda, Burundi, Haiti, Armenia, and Pakistan. He is author of a volume of poems and photographs, Rumours of Hope (2005), and contributor to a collective book of poetry, Forgotten Genocides of the Twentieth Century (2005).
