Another summer ends, and this one
takes away my new friend Josephine Del Deo - poet, author, historian, preservationist.
Harry Kemp called her ”The Muse of True Provincetown History”. I had a
wonderful radio interview with her, and her husband, Sal, just this past March.
Josephine passed away on August 25th, at the age of 90. She will be
featured in my upcoming lecture, “Grande Dames of the Dunes, Part Deux”, next
year.
As often as I come to here, to the end
of it,
Sinking down sunset;
Winging my heart's passage with the gull,
homeward,
As often do I rediscover heaven.
“The Road to
Provincetown” by Josephine Del Deo
My radio
program has been expanded to two broadcasts per month. Tune into WOMR 92.1 FM
on the second and fourth Friday of every month, at 9am. Shows are an interview
format, and my subject matter includes the dunes, dune shacks, dune community
and dune culture of the outer Cape, and the locals and artists who interface
with them.
You can
count on meeting some Cape Cod characters and hear about places off the beaten
path.
You can
also visit www.womr.org/podcast_category/the-dune-tramp for my
podcasts.
Catch the
Del Deos’ broadcasts in July and August 2016.
I was blessed to stay at the Fowler
dune shack during a stormy winter week in April. I always wanted to experience
a snow storm in the dunes, and got my wish!
Hope to see you at one of my
slideshow/lectures this year. Just look under ENGAGEMENTS for my schedule.
Thanks for visiting!
