I’m so happy today to see The Piker Press publish my homage to what is possibly the greatest film of all time, 1982’s “Blade Runner.” The title of the poem is “An Ode for Fellow Replicants.” You can find it right here.
Thanks once again to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my voice through such an outstanding online literature magazine! 🙂
The Piker Press today published my humorous nature poem, “An Ode to a Would-Be Swimmin’ Skink!” For those of you who are uninitiated, a skink is a little lightning-quick iridescent lizard common in the Southern United States.) And they even ran the photo I submitted with the poem! (I snapped a shot of the little fella off Shenandoah Avenue here in Roanoke, VA.)
You can find the poem and the photo right here. Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community of readers, writers and artists.
Happy Monday! 🙂
I’m so glad today to see The Piker Press publish another poem of mine — “When I Meet the Devil.” You can find it right here.

Hey, gang! I’m honored today to see The Piker Press publish another poem of mine — “Turning 41.” I wrote this poem last year!! Thanks as always to Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my voice at this wonderful online lit mag.
“Turning 41,” by Eric Robert Nolan
[Update: okay … I wrote this poem many years ago, not last year, because 41 was a while back. Whatever.]
I do realize that publication announcements are the last thing on anyone’s mind right now, given what is going on in our country. (It is still our country, isn’t it?)
But I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Sand Pilarski over at The Piker Press for accepting three more of my poems. The online magazine will publish “Bumblebee” on August 24, “prayer upon an empty hilltop” on September 14, and “Contagion Is a Despot Poet” on October 19.
Stay safe, my friends.
It is times like this when I like to remember one of my favorite quotes:
There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream.
They are right. It is the American Dream.
— Archibald MacLeish
I’m so happy today to see that The Piker Press has featured my very short love poem, “Ode,” in its May 25 issue. You can find it right here.
As always, thanks to Editor Sand Pilarski for including me in The Piker Press community!
