At the risk of sounding predictable, I'd love to do that but, having done it once, know that I haven't the time! I will put it on my list of things to do.<br /><br />The more I read your poem, the more I think I understand what it has to do with JJ.<br />I used to belong to the heanet.ie FWAKE list (google and you'll find it) which was a great inspiration to those wanting to read it, I thought. That was some years ago, and I don't know how active it is now.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-32742752501794504332010-02-16T09:16:29.764+01:002010-02-16T09:16:29.764+01:00I like your artwork.

At Zürich's James Joyce Foundation members meet every Thursday to read it. But I think you need a map of Zürich beside you to know for example that there's a river in Zürich called the Sihl (in FW "the silly post" is the post office near the Bahnhof) etc. <br />Perhaps, I should try to read a page a day 'alongside' Dominic. Maybe he can guide my path!<br />Dominic, what say you?Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-61654235411522032252010-02-15T19:17:23.180+01:002010-02-15T19:17:23.180+01:00I have always found Joyce pretty unreadable in spi...I have always found Joyce pretty unreadable in spite of having a son who has read Finnigan's Wake a hundred times.

Joyce set out to cause confusion - "enough there" to "keep the professors busy for generations" is what I think he said about "Finnegans Wake". And the "musucularity of his prose" you touch on is an interesting aspect too; via Dublin, Trieste, Paris, Zurich. Things bravely seen or imagined at a vanishing distance. A characteristic looking into the distance photo was taken in Zürich where too rivers come together and turbulence is caused. That's Joyce.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-44029621308440424642010-02-15T16:00:47.531+01:002010-02-15T16:00:47.531+01:00A strange statue - as you say, very expressive of ...A strange statue - as you say, very expressive of confusion. When I think of Joyce, I think of a certain muscularity in his prose, not reflected in this work. I don't know a lot about him, of course.ArtSparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875996639432864367noreply@blogger.com
