Neveragainland

Tendril of Alabama yet wintry spoke, MC Hyland is attuned to the physical aspect of print and its measured and immeasurable construction and dissemination. Out of text she constructs a poetics of space, evoking films, maps, magazines, homes-things with plots, markers, events. Neveragainland addresses addressing: in one sense epistolary-Dear So and So or Chairman Mao, and in another sense, dialogue with a house that responds. You've built your house/ of words like these. These are spaces in which to play, to dream, to feel at home.

-Farrah Field, author of Rising

MC Hyland deals with the problem of living in a world wherein emotions & sensations expire immediately as we live them through a process of vigorous reinvention & energetic estrangement. Each moment is fundamentally shaped & recharged by its passage from actual happening to genuine experience. With admirable verbal dexterity matched by the multivalent modes of feeling & thought in evidence, Neveragainland challenges the reader to be brand new.
