Diana Hayes

December 11th, 2025

In Hawking the Surf (Silver Bow Publishing $23.95), Diana Hayes returns to the coastal landscapes that shaped her earliest poems, weaving photographs and lyrical meditation into a layered exploration of memory, belonging and the natural world. A longtime Salt Spring Island poet, photographer and publisher, Hayes blends decades of creative practice into this immersive collection rooted in the Pacific coast’s tides, fog and shifting light. Her work spans poetry, photography, chapbook publishing and a debut novella, all shaped by her deep connection to place and the quiet revelations of the shoreline. Hawking the Surf  captures a lifetime of seeing—and seeing again—with clarity and devotion. 9781774033890
