Also of note, an interview with former poet laurete Robert Pinsky in the Cape Cod Times mentions our possible wedding caterer.

Q. How long have you been coming to Provincetown? What is it about this place? What was your best poem you wrote here?

A: I am no old-timer: I first came to Provincetown in March of 1980, when Brendan Gill and I were visiting artists at the Fine Arts Work Center. I remember hilarious nights with Brendan and some of the Fellows at the time: Cleopatra Mathis, Denis Johnson, Bruce Smith, Tom Sleigh among them. Also, convivial late breakfasts at Napi's.
The title poem of The Want Bone goes back to those days. Tom Sleigh has actually given me the wonderful present of the shark's mouth bones described in the poem.
I can't pretend to understand the recipe that makes one fall in love with the place. It's not very original to imagine that the sea, the light, the dunes, the Portuguese, the gay people, the artists, the food, the isolation, the wind all have to do with it. Americans like the word "freedom" or the abstract notion of it: Provincetown abounds in actual examples.
Maybe it's just Norman Mailer and Clem & Ursie's.
