Sometimes the spaces in between seasons are the best time to reflect on life. To just sit back and be at peace with whatever is happening around you. Shoulder season on the Cape offers just that, a quiet beautiful solitude when the crowds have gone home. Take the time to listen to poetry and let it seep into your pores. Before you swing into the next season, savor this moment where everything is green and full of life.

The Chive Collective is a small group of female poets for whom Cape Cod is their full-time or seasonal home. They are Eileen Cleary, Christine Bess Jones, Gloria Monaghan, and Annie Pluto.
