Women's Studies. Composed between April 2013 and February 2017, the poems in MC Hyland's THE END, each titled \"THE END,\" chronicle a time of late capitalist crisis, as a populace alights on, endures, and absorbs turbulent change. Hyland's project, launched as an ironic formal conceit, evolves on the page into a witness account of the ways that the personal and private brush against and dissolve into collective being—in protest, through social media, on a crowded subway car rattling into darkness. A diarist lyric for the Occupy, #MeToo, and Twitter era, THE END captures in crisp, intimate flashes an extended moment in which the personal becomes inherently political, and the daily musings and observations of a mind navigating these times cannot help but be inflected by a collective preoccupation with a felt sense of futurity's impending end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Hers is a kind of feminist-Wordsworthian project for our moment, without Wordsworthian lapses of condescension. Or perhaps it is more appropriate to think of Hyland in THE END as a Baudelaireian flâneuse: alert, occasionally dyspeptic, sensitive, registering the discontents of life in the 21st C. metropolis—as a woman, a citizen, a thinker, a listener, a friend, a racialized subject, an embodied self.\"—Maureen McLane\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31337290399767,"sku":"9781940090108","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/content_c0ceee04-d38c-4b1b-925a-9bf26a46a636.jpg?v=1586746280","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/the-end-by-m-c-hyland","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
