Neveragainland

by M.C. Hyland

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. -Nate Pritts, author of The Wonderfull Yeare & founder/editor of H_NGM_N
