Eric Robert Nolan featured in World of Poetry anthology.

Well, here’s a nice way to start the year — I found out this morning that my poetry was included in Cooch Behar Magazine’s latest anthology, World of Poetry.

You can find it right here over at Amazon.

Thanks, as always, to Editor Sourav Sarkar for featuring my work in yet another wonderful poetry book from India!

“The Sick Kitten” (1901)

Just a minute-long 1901 French silent film that was too much of an oddball find not to share here …

I am linking today to the British Film Institute.



Throwback Thursday: my (TERRIFYING) awkward phase!

⚠  WARNING — THIS POST MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC OR DISTURBING IMAGERY.  ⚠  Is it any wonder that I am happier as an adult?  The first picture below was taken in the early 1980’s.  The latter was taken a couple of days ago.

Granted, I’m not exactly Chris Hemsworth now, but ya gotta admit that 53-year-old me is a damn sight better looking than 13-year-old me.  Adolescent Eric looks like a cross between an anemic Oscar Wilde and an accursed species of upright, hairless goat.

“Thanks for the trauma!” I told my sister after she texted it to me.

“It’s what I’m here for,” she told me.



Happy New Year!!!

Wishing all of you Happiness, Health and Prosperity in 2026!

Poetry and commentary, 2025

The past year was the best ever for poetry and commentary, with publications in the United States, Britain, Ireland, Germany, India and Bangladesh — along with a short story publication in Chile.

You can find all the links to my 2025 poetry and commentary at the link below. Thanks for coming along for the ride.  🙂
