LETTER from the PUBLISHER
The Province Lands, some 7,000 acres of dunes, salt marshes, pitch pine forests, and freshwater ponds, is a universe of its own. I have gone there to shed worry, wonder at fleeting deer, drink in the intoxicating scent of bayberry, absorb the twilight glow over sky and dunes, convene with fox, and, on one remarkableoccasion in a downpour, harmonize with thousands of hauled out seals whose mesmerizing collective hum resembled the comforting low frequency of a large singing bowl. Note that I did not mention the coyotes (or coywolves). Their hypnotic howls are not nearly as pleasant when dusk is in freefall miles away from home.
I am far from alone in these sensations. For each person who has spent time on Provincetown's backshore, there are hundreds more impressions. We owe this enormous privilege to year-round Outer Cape residents, civic leaders, environmental and conservation advocates, and artists and writers such as Josephine Del Deo and Ross Moffett, among others, who fought against development. Thanks to them, the National Seashore, created in 1961, has a greater footprint in which visitors can celebrate naked nature without tract housing.
This year Provincetown Art Guide honors the Province Lands through the words of recent visitors and longtime dune dwellers who carry great respect for a landscape shaped by absence as much as presence.
