Title: My Own Cape Cod.
Description: Yarmouth Port, MA, Parnassus Imprints, (1998). VG PB. Taber writes about the Cape Cod she loves where her other home, Still Cove, is located. "Still Cove" is exactly my idea of. heaven." Nestled on a cliff overlooking the sapphire waters of Mill Pond inlet, it is a low, one-story house with white cedar shingles weathered to a soft smoke gray. Looking beyond Still Cove, Taber reflects on the Cape itself. Here are friends and neighbors, living in enviable closeness to each other and to the natural setting in which they have made their lives. Here are the tides and the fogs, the cranberry bogs, the beaches where visitors swim and Cape Codders dig for clams. Every page is alive with the author's presence and observation. "What is Cape Cod? It is an amethyst glow at the horizon over Mill Pond announcing dawn. It is the Fall Flower Moon in May walking in gold on quiet water. Honey locusts and honeysuckle weighing the air with sweetness and sea lavender signing the beaches with delicate purple.".
