So Much, Selected Poems, Volume I Handwritten Typewriter (1969-1989) & II Notebook Keyboard (1990-2010)by Pat Nolan (Nualláin House, 2018, 2019)
The poems selected here are representative of an acquired esthetic sourced outside of the doctrinaire Anglo-American literary tradition. They do not aim at rhetoric nor do they seek to persuade. Their primary intent is to present the fine distinctions of a perceptual identity in a uniquely spontaneous improvisational manner to the ear as well as to the page. “If I have any purpose as a poet it is to remove myself from the musty authority of an entrenched academic conservatism and approach the word in its current state of utter mutability,” Nolan states in the introduction to this two volume selected poems.
“Pat Nolan is one of the poets, Ted Berrigan once said, that you have to always keep an eye on because he can do unexpected startling things that leave you eating his dust.”
— Andrei Codrescu, author of So Recently Rent A World: New and Selected Poems, 1968-2012.
Exile In Paradise by Pat Nolan (Nualláin House, 2017)
The poems of Exile In Paradise are derived from a lifelong appreciation of classical Chinese poetry. Although removed by degrees of separation from the originals in time and language, their impulse remains the same: to call up the perceptual as a song of celebration in sacred engagement with the world.
“Nolan has given Solitude, itself, a voice in this rich lyric of nature. A luminosity of flickering bursts pause and magnify now moments of being alive. His quotidian soaks us with its presence. His lines trace the air.”
—Maureen Owen, author of Erosion’s Pull and Edges of Water
the thousand marvels of every moment, a tanka collection by Pat Nolan (Nualláin House, 2018)
Tanka is the modern name for a short five line poem known throughout the history of Japanese literature as a waka.
“Pat Nolan’s new collection of short poems the thousand marvels of every moment is a late harvest wonder. Distilled in the key of tanka, these poems make sparks out of crumpled paper & ‘fine white rain.’ No better description of the book than from within:
through the particle haze dance
joy and marvel of the mind”
—Eric Johnson, poet, master printer
Poetry For Sale, Haikai no Renga (linked poetry), introduction by Pat Nolan with linked verse by Keith Kumasen Abbott, Sandy Berrigan, Gloria Frym, Steven Lavoie, Joen Eshima Moore, Maureen Owen, Michael Sowl, John Veglia (Nualláin House, 2015)
This collection of linked poetry presents a fascinating excursion in comparative literature by a cross-section of exceptional, widely published American poets. In these pages haikai no renga is synthesized as a brief, highly suggestive, well spoken, maddeningly ambiguous, read-between-the-lines kind of poetry.
“I have seen a number of attempts to do versions of linked poetry in English, and I think yours the truest to the spirit of the Japanese. . . .”
—Earl Miner, author of Japanese Linked Poetry and The Monkey’s Straw Raincoat
