Tim Nolan is
a lawyer who lives in South Minneapolis. His poems have been widely
published and have often been read by Garrison Keillor on "The Writer's
Almanac"



“In And Then Tim
Nolan offers us a Smörgåsbord of delights. It seems that in his hands
anything can become a poem. These are poems of praise and delight in the
world, even with its sadness and frustrations.”--Louis Jenkins, author
of European Shoes



“Tim Nolan is both the most hard-working and the most playful poet I know.”--Joyce Sutphen, Minnesota Poet Laureate
