Have you ever had what you thought was a good idea and then realised you were barefoot in the woods? Or wondered why no one acknowledges the odd creature that creeps around your neighbourhood? Join me as I explore such things, using poetry and fiction.

Welcome! I am the writer L.A. Hyland, and the Unbound Sea is my website.

Writers from the planet Earth are uniting at SpecPoVerse. I join them in the latest issue with two poems about lost things: supernatural thinking ('Black Acorn') and a relative ('The Mouth'). You can read the issue online, now.

A new poem has been added to the site: 'My Left Neighbour'. Darkly absurd and slightly menacing, as life often is. Treasure your good neighbours, friends!

You can read a brief interview with me, over at The Future Fire's News & Press blog. We talk about poetry, art, history, endless reading - all the good stuff!

It's all very well, using technology to change into motorcars, but has anyone considered the children? My poem, 'Indicators', is available now in Star*Line magazine!

Choices, choices... If magic could transform you into anything, what would you wish to be? My speculative poem, 'Why Would I Be a Woman', is in the latest issue of The Future Fire.
