HAYLEY SOLOMON is an author and poet living on the South island of New Zealand. She double-majoured in Psychology and English, later graduating with an Honours Baccalaureus Bibliothecologiae followed by a Masters of Arts degree. She worked as an academic librarian for many years, switching career paths when her first novel was accepted for publication. Poetry is Hayley’s first passion as a writer.

“A spirited collection of poems.”
—Vaughan Rapatahana, Winner of the inaugural Proverse Poetry Prize.
“This eclectic and very personal collection of short stories by successful writer of genre fiction and emerging poet, Hayley Ann Solomon, describes in lyrical detail widely dispersed places and situations. The stories are well-constructed and intensely-felt and the author’s joy in the sounds and sequencing of beautiful words is evident.”—Philip Chatting, Winner of the Proverse Prize 2014, author of The Snow Bridge and Other Stories (Proverse, 2015).
Under the shade of the feijoa trees offers a representative sample of Hayley Ann Solomon’s particular brand of high quality, emotionally resonant short stories. The styles and intensities vary extensively, but the common denominator is humanity in all its complexity, woven with philosophy.
