The 'boy poet' spent the formative decade (from 1948–1958) in Mullumbimby, prior to moving to Tweed Heads in 1959. At Mullumbimby he became a passionate orchid collector (from the surrounding rainforests).Before attending Mullumbimby High School (at age 12) his mother told him his name was Edwin and not Peter, and he'd have to change for school banking, which was quite destabilising, an adjustment that was not properly made until he went to Murwillumbah High School (in 1959).A scholarship to Armidale Teachers' College (1960–1961) provided his 'escape' from rural poverty, and was a period of aesthetic flowering. An appointment to the The Forest High School, Frenchs Forest (1962) enabled him to complete a (part-time) science degree at the University of New South Wales (in Chemistry and Botany).His first brief marriage (to Margaret Dawn Macintyre in 1968) coinciding with his appointment as a lecturer at Armidale Teachers' College, was his second age of poetic awakening. In 1972 he had returned to Sydney (into his 'garret phase' of verse), to work at The Australian Museum, quite literally the 'House of the Muses', and 'as [he] fell so painfully out of love [his] verse improved', and he has written ever since that time. When the child of that failed marriage (James Richmond Wilson, b. 1970) was accidentally killed in a road accident a lot more grief was sublimated into verse.His first significant success in Literary Journals was with Poetry Australia (with a number of poems published over a range of years). His second lasting marriage (to Cheryl Lillian Turnham in 1975), coincided with his Literary Hoax in opposition to quotas (in which he had a poem published under the female pseudonym of 'Eileen' in Kate Jenning's Mother I'm Rooted, an Anthology of Australian Women Poets)). As a result of this he was sin-binned in some quarters for a score of years.In 1980 he moved to the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, the closest thing to a rainforest in the city. Because of the 'Eileen' incident a lot of doors had closed to him, so in 1982 he set up Woodbine Press, a then subsidiary of Edwards & Shaw, with Dick Edwards (of Edwards & Shaw) as his silent partner. Banyan, his first book of poems, was printed with hot metal by Edwards & Shaw in their last year of business. Since then he has published twenty seven books, through Woodbine Press and other outlets (including Hale & Iremonger, Kangaroo Press, Rainforest Publishing, Kardoorair Press, and the Royal Botanic Gardens Trust).Edwin Wilson retired from paid work in 2003, as a Research Associate of the Gardens, working with Phil Spence on a breeding program using high altitude New Guinea Latouria-type orchid hybrids, to try to bring cold-tolerance (that is, grow at Sydney equivalent latitudes without a glasshouse)into bench quality plants. In 2014 Phil Spence registered the hybrid Dendrobium tapiniense x Dendrobium johsoniae with the Royal Horticultural Society (UK) under the Grex name of Dendrobium Edwin Wilson. In 2003 he had started art classes at the Lavender Bay Gallery, and was elected as an Exhibiting Member of the Royal Art Society of New South Wales (in 2008), and won the Medal of Distinction at the 2010 RAS Spring Show, with a joint exhibition in 2011 (with Bruce Herps, at Artarmon Galleries, Sydney), and a Mullumbimby-themed exhibition at the Tweed River Gallery (Murwillumbah) in 2014.After an article on the centenary of ‘Tidge’ Wilson’s birth in the local paper at Lismore, New South Wales, at ‘the ripe old age of sixty one’ he was ‘discovered’ by his brother Jim, then retired, who’d worked as a carpenter/builder in his life, and died in 2008.Wilson’s twentieth book, and tenth book of poetry, My Brother Jim (2009), was dedicated to Edwin James (Jim) Onslow/Wilson, 1939–2008. His New Collected Poems came out in 2012. Stardust Painter-Poet (2015) is a glossy art catalogue with paintings linked to some of his thematic poems and poem fragments.Edwin and Cheryl have three adult children, and live at Crows Nest, a suburb of Sydney.Wilson's literary papers are held in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.Included In:Who’s Who of Australian Writers, D.W. Thorpe, 1st and 2nd editions.Thylazine (electronic) database (incomplete)The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature, William Wilde, Joy Hooton and Barry Andrews, Oxford University Press, Australia, 2nd edition, 1994.Australian Poets and Their Works, William Wilde, Joy Hooton and Barry Andrews, Oxford University Press Australia, 1996.The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy, Paul Collins, Melbourne University Press, 1998.The Bibliography of Australian Literature P-Z, John Arnold and John Hay, University of Queensland Press, 2008.".
