MC Hyland

I am currently working on book projects in three genres: a collection of short literary essays in the tradition of Montaigne’s Essais and Anne Carson’s Short Talks, a scholarly monograph on the second-person pronoun in eighteenth century and Romantic poetry, and a hybrid-genre book that explores grief and Anthropocene extinction through the life and writing of Mary Shelley. I am also the founding editor of a small poetry chapbook press, DoubleCross Press.
