I am so happy to learn just now that Silent Spark Press will publish my love poem “Where Would We Go?” in its upcoming anthology of Virginia Poets.

The book, which is scheduled for an October 11 release, will be “a thoughtfully curated collection created for readers who appreciate regional literature, lyrical expression, and the enduring power of place. Featuring about 100 poems by Virginia poets, this anthology invites readers on a literary journey through the state’s history, landscapes, communities, and cultural identity.”

Virginia Poets can be preordered right here.

Thank you, Silent Spark Press, for allowing me to find my work published in such a meaningful tribute to the Commonwealth of Virginia.

“Two souls, alas, are dwelling in my breast. /And one is striving to forsake its brother.

June 21, 2026 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

“You are aware of only one unrest;
Oh, never learn to know the other!
Two souls, alas, are dwelling in my breast,
And one is striving to forsake its brother.
Unto the world in grossly loving zest,
With clinging tendrils, one adheres;
The other rises forcibly in quest
Of rarefied ancestral spheres.
If there be spirits in the air
That hold their sway between the earth and sky,
Descend out of the golden vapors there
And sweep me into iridescent life.
Oh, came a magic cloak into my hands
To carry me to distant lands,
I should not trade it for the choicest gown,
Nor for the cloak and garments of the crown.”

— from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust
