The Yankee Privateer
A story of adventure, betrayal, and resilience in Newfoundland set against the backdrop of the historical events of the American War of Independence. Loyalty and betrayal meet in Newfoundland during the tumultuous War of American Independence. Jonah Squibb returns to the Royal Navy to defend his beloved island from Yankee raids and predation. The task is a welcome respite from grief at the death of his wife and the estrangement of his son. The future holds other heartaches, however, as the war at sea intensifies and he is called upon to achieve a great deal with very little. Victory and defeat are never more than a hair's breadth apart as he is pushed to the limit of his skills and endurance. The novel is a sweeping drama of battles on the Grand Banks and romance and intrigue in St. John's harbour.
Land of the Rock: Talamh an Carraig
A poetic exploration of place and belonging, a quest that takes the speaker across the ocean in search of identity and origin. The speaker in the poems that form Land of the Rock: Talamh an Carraig travels through Newfoundland and Ireland looking for meaning in words, places, and behaviour. Whether the subject is tourists on Fogo Island, conversations on Inis Oírr, flora and fauna of the Burren, or accents in Waterford, Nolan translates this sensory data into a narrative of someone seeking a sense of belonging in a lost ancestral culture. In Land of the Rock, the lost utopia of Gaelic Ireland, which is interwoven through Irish writing and consciousness, is reimagined and displaced across the Atlantic.
Still No Word
This thesis is a collection of poetry. Still No Word seeks the appearance of the self in others and the recognition of others within the self. Patient, searching, questioning and at times heartbreaking - these poems reveal the deep past within the present tense and the interrelations that make our lives somehow both whole and unfinished. And though, the poems are political at times, this is not politics for the sake of politics: here, it's a matter of the human heart. Ranging from reflective to angry, from sensual to humorous, This poetry inhabits that mercurial space between the public and the private.
