“Joy comes through clearly and gives the reader permission to relax into the experience of the poems rather than analyze them, which, for me, is a favourite place to be.”—Conyer Clayton, Canthius

“Nolan Natasha’s writing is so clear-eyed, funny, tender, and absorbing. I love these poems and this sparkling debut.”—Zoe Whittall

“The poems in I Can Hear You, Can You Hear Me? initiate deep and active listening, positing themselves after the call and before the response. This territory thrums with potential, with vitality. We are told that, “nothing is fixed—only closer, different” which is how these poems leave me feeling, alert for response, for the private and public conversations these poems will instigate. Nolan Natasha’s collection maps the large cultural shift we’re all feeling about identity, about vulnerability, about body, about community with insight and acuity. And in this collection’s blood, in its silences, there is indeed “the howling wonder.” How could there not be?”—Sue Goyette
