Local writers Libby Hathorn and Elizabeth Cummings were unusually busy during Covid, exploring the coastal wonders of some of the eastern coastline of Sydney. They responded in poetry to time spent at beaches and on boardwalks from Yarra Bay to Watson's Bay; and Coastal Poetry with its artful photographic depictions of each beach is the result. This unique publication gives insight into the by-the-sea treasures of life in the writers' local environment celebrating the wonders of nature by the sea.
