Jonathan and Kazmira Nedeau live in Orleans and have filled their home with books old and new for many years.

 

Jonathan grew up on the mouth of Barnstable Harbor and surfed the Outer Cape throughout high school. He went away to university, pursued graduate degrees in the humanities and political philosophy, and frittered for some time after, only to return to the Cape with Kazmira in 2015. Aside from philosophy, his other interests include poetry, fly-fishing, and gardening both at home and at Sea Call Farm in Orleans. 

 

Kazmira was born in Brooklyn and was fortunate to grow up in a neighborhood with a tradition of block parties, stoop sales, and sidewalk chit chats. She studied anthropology as an undergraduate and loved conducting ethnographic interviews and working the checkout desk at the library. When she and Jonathan moved to Orleans after years of living and working in cities (Boston, Cambridge and Providence), she felt like she found her neighborhood again. She loves reading about world history, social justice, and food, and discovering new books for her and Jonathan’s son and daughter.

The name "sea howl" comes from a T.S. Eliot poem Four Quartets. It reminded us of the roaring sound of the ocean that can be heard on a windy day, and especially in Orleans - the first town as you move out on the peninsula of Cape Cod to face the wild Atlantic Ocean.
