“This tiny tome is a pocket-sized guidebook to 34 beaches along the Washington and Oregon coasts and islands, from Semiahmoo Spit to Sunset Bay State Park near Coos Bay. Each entry includes a wee lyrical description and a bite of ‘know-how’. . . Priest’s poems are what transform this book from a sweet tchotchke to a sublime gift. . . Her words effortlessly conjure an afternoon at the beach, staring out at the sea, content and heart-happy.”
