Bob Green is an Emeritus Clinical Assistant Professor at East Carolina University College of Nursing. He is a retired Certifed Nurse-Midwife and taught in the ECU-CON Midwifery and undergraduate OB nursing programs. Bob fell in love with Midwifery at the birth of his oldest daughter who was born at home in Elkins, Arkansas in 1978 attended by Nurse Midwives. Bob’s love of Midwifery is second only to his love of writing, especially poetry. Bob has been wordsmithing since he began writing with a big yellow #2 Ticonderoga pencil. His goal is always to pack every word with as much meaning and feeling as possible. He is published in a number of literary and poetry magazines and professional nursing journals.
