Description:
<p><b><i>Still Point</i> examines North America as unified whole and disrupted centre</b></p>
<p>The poems in <i>Still Point</i> 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.</p>
<p>"E Martin Nolan’s <i>Still Point</i> is [a] debut of remarkable talent."<b>—<i>Canadian Literature</i></b></p>
<p>“When a book is this good, what to say? Without rhetoric, in intimate detail, Nolan nails it.”<b>—Rosemary Sullivan, <i>Stalin’s Daughter</i></b></p>
