My husband, Jeff Govoni has written a book titled, FOUR JARVES STREET. Often hilarious and sometimes poignant, Four Jarves Street is more than a gossamer recollection of a 1970s Cape Cod childhood. It’s an elegy for a coastal New England that has been cleansed from our collective memory and our living landscape. Four Jarves Street is also a meditation on family and belonging, on lack and loss, and on the myths that form our first identity.

Available at Titcomb’s Bookshop in East Sandwich, Mass or on Amazon. To learn more about Jeff’s book here’s the link: https://fourjarvesstreet.com/.

the state of the world, culture, democracy..blah blah blah. However, after very little thought…I’m not doing that. No one is waiting on my thoughts or opinions. I’m quite certain (roughy 100%) that my adult children would agree.

Instead, I’m posting art I’ve never shared. Here you go…
