By (author): Scott Nolan

Famed musician and poet Scott Nolan has built a complex world out of paper collage, aptly titled Nolanville. Venture into the unnamed city’s seedy underbelly, its scintillating skyscrapers and downtrodden cutout characters, as vulnerable as those real strangers that we pass on the street everyday. Made up of paper and cheap glue, Nolanville reminds us all of the fragility of our own existence. Glossy eye-candy by the poet laureate of the gutters.

AUTHOR

Scott Nolan

Scott Nolan is a songwriter, poet, multi-instrumentalist from Winnipeg, Manitoba Treaty One territory, with nine albums to his credit. His songs have been recorded by Hayes Carll, Mary Gauthier, Watermelon Slim, and Corin Raymond, among others. Long an avid reader of poetry, Nolan turned to writing it in 2015, when he started walking ten kilometres a day in a bid to quit smoking. Nolan discovered melodies and rhythms in the shuffling of his feet, and began writing short poems inspired by reflections on his own difficult past, as well as about people and places in his neighbourhood.
