I have a new essay collection from Heyday titled Double Hyenas and Lazarus Birds: A Sideways Look at the Pacific Ocean and Everything in It. It has eighteen stand-alone chapters, and each chapter opens with a black and white photograph on the left and the text on the right.

For those of my readers who have encountered Double Hyenas as an audio book, you have not gotten to see those images. They are here now, in the same order as in the book.

Thank you for taking the time to seek them out.
