Into the Wild Writing

Fiction Poetry Nonfiction Visual Art Photography

Linda H.Y. Hegland is an award-winning poetry, lyric essay, and non-fiction writer who lives and writes on a small farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. She writes the occasional short story. Born in Bath, England, she grew up on the stark prairies of western Canada, and now returns to coastal/bucolic climes in Nova Scotia. Her writing most often reflects the influence of place, and sense of place, and one’s complex and many-layered relationship with it. She has published in numerous literary and art journals and has had work nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. She has had previously published two books of poetry - ‘Bird Slips, Moon Glows’ and ‘White Horses’, a book of lyric essays - ‘Place of the Heart’, and a book of verses and vignettes - ‘Remember in Pieces’. Her memoir (sorta), ‘Treading Lightly’ was published early 2026.
