2024 was a banner year for my poetry. If you happen to enjoy my ongoing, Kafka-esque portraiture of a neurotic scribbler, all of the year’s publications can be found right here:

Poetry Hall again translated my poetry for its global readership of Chinese readers.
I received some really terrific year-end news a little while ago — Poetry Hall again translated a selection of my work for its worldwide audience of Chinese readers.
The biligual journal, which prints poems in both English and Chinese, selected three of mine for Issue 26; the poems are “Blue,” “Autumn Girl” and “The Mountain At Summer, Seen From A Passing Car.”
I am grateful to Kai Mills, Managing Editor of English Poetry, for allowing me to see my writing showcased in Poetry Hall this second time around.
If you would like to purchase Issue 26, you can find it right here on Amazon.
I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season!
Throwback Thursday: this 70’s(?)-era photo of NolanKin.
I don’t even really remember how I got this photo, or how it wound up in my backup files. I think it is from the late 70’s?
That is my dad, Robert James Nolan, when he was younger than I am now, along with my eldest sister and (I think) our first family dog, Shadow.
The Piker Press publishes my photo of some stragely darkened hills in Woodbridge, Virginia
The Piker Press today featured what might be my favorite photo of mine — a shot of a mid-afternoon Northen Virginia neighborhood that was suddenly and virtually eclipsed by heavy clouds racing over the area.
It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and I happened to be there at just the right time. You can see the photo right here.
Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of the creative community of The Piker Press!
People who say “I don’t trust the polls” are just being racist.
Polish people are just as honest as anybody else.

If there is an emblem for bachelorhood, I’m pretty sure this is it.
It’s like the Westerosi sigil for House Unmarried. (A delicious sigil.)
But, damn, I miss the baked mac-and-cheese served at Mary Washington College. I know I’m not the only one.
Spillwords Press publishes “Smiling Among Inert Shipwrecks”
I’m honored today to see Spillwords Press publish my poem, “Smiling Among Inert Shipwrecks.” You can find it right here.
Thanks, as always, to Chief Editor Dagmara K. for allowing me to see my work appear in such a wonderful online literary magazine!
It’s a “Gathering” Gathering! (August 27th in Chantilly, VA)
Hey, gang, I just wanted to help spread the word about Poets Anonymous’ August 27th launch event for the second annual Gathering poetry anthology. The event will take place at 7:30 at Courtyard Dulles Airport Chantilly, 3935 Centerview Drive, Chantilly VA 20151. (The door opens at 7.)
Admission is $5. You can purchase the book at the event, if you wish; preorder information is right here. The poets whose work will appear in the anthology have been invited to read their work (though I am sadly unable to attend due to a prior commitment.)
I hope you are all having a terrific summer. 🙂
My “prayer upon an empty hilltop” will be published in the second annual “Gathering” poetry anthology.
I’m so happy to learn that my “prayer upon an empty hilltop” poem will be published in the second annual Gathering poetry anthology — due to be released at the end of August by Poets Anonymous! I will post details and ordering information as it becomes available.
I had my work selected last year for the Gathering’s inaugural issue, so I am especially honored to see one of my poems published in this second annual collection.
Thanks once again to Bards President James P. Wagner, as well as Lesley Tyson and Megan McDonald of Poets Anonymous!
