I am so happy today to see The Piker Press publish my short poem, “An Altogether Different Slumber.”  You can read it online right here.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my voice through this wonderful literary magazine!



Sorry about my editorial slant.

“Nothing,” by Eric Robert Nolan

Empty are her open palms. Oblivion
rises in her irises.
All her inaudible words
are whispers now in storms of empty space.
Her recollection
is a chaos of absences.

Even her hair is empty sky, black and shining both, unreachable beside me, the unattainable stars, cascading night.

Newsday prints my letter about Tucker Carlson’s January 6th misinformation.

I’m honored today to see that Newsday published my letter to the editor about Tucker Carlson’s recent misinformation about the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol.  It’s the very last letter in today’s Letters page; you can find it right here.

Newsday is America’s ninth-largest newspaper, and the third-largest in New York State.   Its Sunday circulation is just under a half million people.
