Praise for Strays

‘ Make it new ‘, wrote Pound. And in ‘ Strays ‘, a small beauty of a book, that’s exactly what Nolan does. Assembled by hand, mindful of lineage, leavened with his particular wit, the Sage on the Russian River gifts the reader with little gems…
—Donald Guravich

Pat  Nolan’s new book “Strays” is a delight. When I first saw the cover I knew it. When I thought about the way my own poems can sit in notebooks or desk drawers patiently purring for years, I knew it. Then there’s the execution: the wonderful fiber covers, the print of the cats, the careful binding. It’s an unassuming work of art. The poems inside might seem like second bananas after the art of the book, but they all live up to the name. This book stands up for the poems that don’t meow for recognition, but are the essence of poetry.
—Eric Johnson

These poems are wonderful! Witty and wry, even tender (though I like how you follow “Life Partner” with “True Love Story” because one can only take so much tenderness at once). A few favorite lines: “I don’t trust the page it is only too willing to turn on me,” “winter came later than spring this year,”
—John Johnson

I love the texture and physicality of Strays. . .the poems for the way they often so deftly twist wry without that pivoting adding resonance instead of undercutting.
—Tim Hunt
