This coffee table book of prose, poetry, and works of art is one of the most enchanting and beautiful books about the Jersey Shore ever published. Oversized and beautifully designed, printed, and bound with over 100 full-color paintings by area artists, it makes a great gift book. The graceful personal essays and poems written by acclaimed poet and writer, Frank Finale, elicit an emotional response and lingering memory and capture the essence of the Jersey Shore while exploring universal themes of life and nature. The book is divided into six chapters, four by season?Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn'plus chapters on Christmas and Poetry. The stunning, full color paintings are of some of the loveliest landmarks and locations at the Jersey Shore, by area artists including Paula Kolojeski, Dick LaBonte, Theresa Troise Heidel, Ludlow Thorston, Margaret Tourison Berndt, Sara Eyestone, Sheila Mickle, Virginia Perle, Muriel Rogers, Dawn Hotaling, and Stephen Harrington.

Both these volumes feature the poetry and prose of Frank Finale. The essays in the first volume were originally printed in Coast magazine from 1984-1992. The book is divided into chapters for each season; Christmas has it's own chapter and all the poetry is together in the final chapter. The essays in the second volume were written for the book and take you on a "journey" from Sandy Hook down to Cape May. All the essays feature Finale's family, friends or students and recall incidences that happened at the Jersey shore. I enjoyed most of the essays and about half the poetry. The second book contained essays about Barnegat, Point Pleasant and Cape May - the shore areas I'm most familiar with- so that book was my favorite. Both vols contain works of art by multiple artists in multiple styles that feature the Jersey shore. I actually bought the books because of the beautiful art work. I'd give both these books 4/5 stars. ( )
