Urban poetry

.... I think Joyce would deeply understand where Philip Harvey, one of this city's leading Joyceans, is coming from. I suggest the following recently published article is in the zone, broad church and embracing, Joyce so cheerfully mapped:

Congratulations on a fine essay, Philip, full of its own poetry, and with an implied practical policy....

Does it strike chords with other Joyceans?

Enjoy. Frances.

  1. Enlightening read as always.

    These powerful urban "scratchings" give effect through image where there is no voice and place great meaning to me of a recent post

    "it's time to swim
    out on your own and fill the element
    with signatures on your own frequency,
    echo soundings, searches, probes, allurements
    elver-gleams in the dark of the whole sea"

    As dark as life may seem, if we act, light catches fragments of hope. If we lay stagnant we stay in the dark.
