Glossolalia: Speaking in Tongues
Glossolalia: speaking in tongues is a powerful poetic exploration of the last years of the 20th century, spoken in a multitude of interlocking tongues. A deep exploration of human experience, ranging from loss and genocide to joy and childbirth, Ned Hayes uses a multivalent language, ranging widely from ancient mythic tropes to modern slang to provoke and enthrall his readers. A truly original voice in American poetry.
An inspiring collection of work for those who find succor in the wildness of words or the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Glossolalia is an invigorating book of unconventional poetry--worthy of note. --Nicholas Hallum, editor of Poetry in Place: The Pacific Northwest in Prose and Poems
Like the best works of 19th century poetry, this 21st century first book of poems from Ned Hayes is full of mythic references. Glossolalia is a book that is by turns charming, frustrating, brutal and spiritual. This insightful work will intrigue and enthrall most every reader. Recommended. --Steelhead Reviews
In Glossolalia, Ned Hayes creates a startling mythic landscape and populates it with convincing voices and thoughtful theological questions. His poems wrestle alternatively with cultural identity and ancient myth, all set against the vibrant and harshly unforgiving landscape of the Pacific Northwest. --Hot Ink.com: Literate Rants & Raves

Ned Hayes is a voracious reader (and writer) from Olympia Washington, who now lives in Portland, Oregon.
My novel THE EAGLE TREE was a national bestseller, and was named by New York Times bestselling author Steve Silberman as one of the top 5 books on the autistic experience.. The book has also been endorsed by Temple Grandin and many others.
I read in many genres. I especially enjoy historical fiction like Philippa Gregory, Anita Diamant and Hilary Mantel, as well as supernatural historical fiction from Susanne Clarke and Tim Powers. But I also love Annie Dillard, Jorge Borges and Michael Chabon.
I also wrote the historical novel SINFUL FOLK, a book set in the 14th century. The cover of SINFUL FOLK a series of lovely internal illustrations were created by the New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Nikki McClure. SINFUL FOLK was nominated for the "Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award" and received starred reviews from many publications, including BookList.
