“Your Little Voice,” by E. E. Cummings

July 4, 2022 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

your little voice
Over the wires came leaping
and i felt suddenly
dizzy
With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers
wee skipping high-heeled flames
courtesied before my eyes
or twinkling over to my side
Looked up
with impertinently exquisite faces
floating hands were laid upon me
I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing
up
Up
with the pale important
stars and the Humorous
moon
dear girl
How i was crazy how i cried when i heard
over time
and tide and death
leaping
Sweetly
your voice

Today I’m accompanying you everywhere in an official red vest as your registered emotional support poet.

I’m … not very well trained. I often fall back on limericks.

But they’re SUPPORTIVE limericks.

Eric Robert Nolan listed with the Poets & Writers Directory

July 2, 2022 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

I received a really nice honor yesterday, friends — I am now listed in the Poets & Writers Directory. This is a registry of over 10,000 published authors, maintained by Poets & Writers — America’s largest nonprofit organization serving creative writers. You can find it right here.

Poets & Writers was founded in 1970. Its mission is “to foster the professional development of poets and writers, to promote communication throughout the literary community, and to help create an environment in which literature can be appreciated by the widest possible public.”

I am quite grateful to Assistant Web Editor Francisco Marquez and his colleagues in New York City for assisting me during the application process.
