from Offshore: An Adjusted Holiday by Eva Murray Eva Murray lives, works and writes on Matinicus Island.

Here in the Anarchic Autonomous Democratic Republic of Matinicus you don’t have to lay down money for your seasonal greenery, although we might make a point of asking a landowner’s permission even if they generally squint and laugh at any mention of it.
