I once met William Styron

I once met William Styron
out on the Vineyard
at a Chilmark market
autographing a book
holding court as he was
in polos, in khakis,
in pastels writ large
a denizen of the island,
of the sea, the waves,
comfortable in the pace,
In the way of that place.

Camp Meeting Grounds, Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard

Note added - 6/15/06 -
"Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Area - MVCMA, well known for the 315 Gingerbread cottages and the historic Tabernacle that comprise the campground, grew out of the religious camp meeting movement of the 19th century. The first camp meeting in Oak Bluffs was held in 1835. The camp meeting movement and the camp meetings on Martha’s Vineyard grew substantially through the years, with many thousands in attendance for the religious services.
The MVCMA has held religious services and a wide variety of special programs on a continuous basis every summer since 1835. The unique character of the Campground, a heritage from a different era, has been preserved and treasured by generations of tent-dwellers and cottage owners for over 170 years. On April 5, 2005, The MVCMA was officially designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior."

somewhere I spent hours,

over many summers in the 1990’s watching bowls,

pitchers, pictures, and more, come to life.
