- Book 1 of 1: Dreaming Wide Awake
Dreaming Wide Awake is a poetic exploration of creativity, nature, and self-reflection. The poetry, prose vignettes, and original artwork unfold seasonally. They guide us on a journey from unconscious distraction to a place of presence and awareness, and an appreciation of natural beauty.
The author shares everyday experiences that lead to meaningful connections and insight. Seemingly simple things like an iridescent hummingbird flitting in the manzanita, or diamond glints of sunlight on the bay, beckon us to something beyond.
The writings and art act as a bridge between the ordinary and the extraordinary and remind us of the transformative power of the arts and the mystery and miracle of existence.

About the Author
Growing up, Ayris Hatton spent many solitary hours drawing and writing in the backyard of the family home in Westwood, California. Her writing and art became solaces amid a busy, exciting, and hectic family life. Her parents often asked her to share her poems at holiday dinners and parties.
Her parents owned a restaurant in Hollywood that became a celebrity hangout where stars like Bette Davis and Gary Cooper sought anonymity and stiff drinks. Her star-struck father managed to get his six kids into movies and shaped the three oldest into the Hatton Sisters trio. They performed on TV, cut records, and were a lead-in for Nat King Cole.
Ayris has written a memoir about her early life, but Dreaming Wide Awake is her first volume of poetry, prose, and artwork.
Ayris holds a BA from UC Berkeley and two MAs in fine arts and art therapy. She became a Registered Art Therapist and a single mom to her daughter when her first husband died. She married again seven years later and had a son who now has two delightful daughters.
