Still Point examines North America as unified whole and disrupted centre

The poems in Still Point contrast the calm and tumult of
Hurricane Katrina, the deconstruction of Detroit, the financial crisis
of 2008, and the BP Gulf oil spill, weaving lyrical sequences and
individual pieces into a coherent whole focused on humanity’s
relationship to itself and to nature. Still Point tells a story of
beauty and horror, and how normalcy stubbornly persists amid history’s
arc.

When a book is this good, what to say? Without rhetoric, in intimate detail, Nolan nails it. –Rosemary Sullivan, Stalin’s Daughter
