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."

I spent hours,
over
many summers in the 1990’s watching bowls,
pitchers,
pictures, and more, come to life.
