As A Matter Of Thought
As A Matter Of Thought by Pat Nolan printable pdf
Pat Nolan’s previous prose poem selections are Counterintelligence (Doris Green Editions) and Intellectual Pretentions (editions de Jacob). The prose poem should be the result of skillful attention to composition and the poetic potential of prose as exemplified by the Holy Trinity of prose poets, Charles Baudelaire, Max Jacob, and Arthur Rimbaud. As Jacob himself wrote of the prose poem, “Dimension counts for nothing in the beauty of a work, its situation and style are everything.”

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
Ten Years After
2021 marks ten years since Nualláin House, Publishers, began print on demand publishing of “literature as reading entertainment” utilizing readily available digital technology and desktop design options, essentially a case of authors seizing the means of production. Over that time Nualláin House has published two genre novels (crime fiction and western), an anthology of Japanese linked verse, and six selections of poetry. Because technology changes the way one does business, Nualláin House has slowly shifted emphasis away from the production of bound volumes of poetry and fiction to the wider readership access provided by the internet. Digital media in the form of blogs and websites provide an entry for the independent artist and writer to launch shoestring operations that do not demand much more than time, determination, and a little imagination to produce and promote their work. After a decade of slogging up the steep cyber learning curve, Nualláin House, Publishers, a publishing project that focused on printed media, has had to widen its scope of what can be accomplished in the production and promotion of literary arts. To that end, along with a new easier to read WordPress theme, Nualláin House has incorporated two fresh projects available through the site’s menu bar to reflect its expanded emphasis: Affiliated Sites and Bamboo Leaf Studio. As before, synopses and approbation of previously published titles can also be accessed from the menu bar as can contact information and ordering print editions
Affiliated Sites
The New Black Bart Poetry Society blog, Parole, was launched in 2012 and was originally conceived as a calendar and events reminder for the poetry society. As the successor to Life of Crime, a more scurrilous Society rag from the 80s, Parole continues the focus on poetry, poets, and the poetry scene. It has a worldwide readership which has grown from a couple of hundred readers a month to thousands who now enjoy its unique perspectives on modern poetry.
Ode To Sunset, A Year In The Life Of American Genius, a fiction by Pat Nolan, was in the works several years before Nualláin House, Publishers, came into being. As work on Ode To Sunset was occurring in parallel, the publishing tools available through the internet offered the opportunity to take a creative leap into the online publishing of the manuscript as a serial novel. At over 600 manuscript pages, the challenge then became one of presentation over a sustained period of time. The novel was posted over two years, 2014-2016, with yearly updates and progress reports since then.
Joining these two affiliated sites is Dime Pulp, A Serial Fiction Magazine. Nualláin House’s original concept of publishing literature as reading entertainment is being revisited with a new undertaking in the form of a serial fiction magazine posting original crime fiction on a monthly schedule. Dime Pulp has already published its first issues featuring two original novels in serialization as well as short stories with more original genre fiction in the queue.

Bamboo Leaf Studio
Bamboo Leaf Studio is an independent art enterprise by poet Pat Nolan featuring his limited edition handmade books, linoleum prints, and studio based literary ephemera. The studio page provides links to four gallery pages of representative work: Faux Koans, Smoking Poets, Women Poet Postcards, and Handmade Books & Surimono. Click on Bamboo Leaf Studio here or on the menu bar to access the links to the galleries below the brief introduction.
What’s Next?
The events of the past year have presented an opportunity to reassess the expectations for Nualláin House as a publishing arts venture. Although the emphasis on hard copy production is no longer in the forefront, Nualláin House, Publishers, is reviewing its catalog and considering at least one more print on demand edition of creative non-fiction. As well, work is in progress to bring a new serial novel online, in addition to the ones featured in Dime Pulp. Poetry will continue to be a focus but as online chapbooks downloadable in pdf or ebook formats. Bamboo Leaf Studio with new Smoking Poets prints and assorted literary art ephemera continues to be a crucible of creativity in its unique synthesis of art and literature. With the exception of the books, prints, and some ephemera, all of these literary products are available without charge to the interested reader. Many thanks to those who have faithfully followed Nualláin House, Publishers, over the years. There’s always something new on the creative horizon.
