Author Event & Emmy Squared Pizza Party! Emily Hyland with Kristin Matthews
About this Event
In My Wise Little Ghost, Hyland's latent grief over her abortion from many years ago is activated by her sister's pregnancy. Week by week, as she learns all about how her niece develops in utero, Hyland uncovers the texture of buried, complicated feelings from the impossible timing and circumstance of the end of her marriage that led to the choice she made. As she tracks memory and experience on deep psychedelic therapy journeys, the unexpected arises: "who-would've-been-Daisy" finds voice and narrates the story from somewhere off in the cosmos, in conversation with Hyland, as each speaker works through what happened and touches into who they are-and aren't-as a result of Hyland's abortion.
Emily Hyland is the author of My Wise Little Ghost (Trio House, 2026), Divorced Business Partners: A Love Story (Howling Bird Press, 2024) & Emily: The Cookbook (Ballantine Books, 2018). Her third collection, Post-Mastectomy Poems, will be published by Cornerstone Press in 2027.
