From the mountains of Afghanistan, to the devastated cities of Ukraine, to the ransacked Capitol of the United States, Steve Nolan takes you on an intimate journey, a portrait of destruction and the human impulse to rise from the rubble to construct a new palace on the ruins of the last. Whether referencing civilization, government, or a single soul, his poetry pays tribute to those who manage to find treasure amongst the shards of a shattered individual life or the shattered dreams of history.
In his theme poem, "The Longest Dream in the World," he shares this:
The longest dream hasn't died.
Dreams are not subject to death
like ideologies, one stacked
upon the archeology of the other-
a palace of ruins... The dream,
like the wind, is the breath
of the world.
