Thanks for these interesting references to Kingston Harbour. I didn´t know it was that important for Joyce.

Love this poem; it touches me on a few levels. 1) My cousin, the actor, ran a theatre in Anchorage, Alaska called Cyrano's with his wife for years... I believe it's closed now. 2) Our local theatre in Coloma (California Gold Discovery site town) has had many from our church act and serve in many capacities. Unfortunately I have never attended either, but will in the future attend our local theatreSo sad that the poem's theatre was lost

re: Wow! I used to participate in a theater group when I still was at the university. We presented a play at the end of each year and in the graduation year it was a collection of poems. That is something you could undertake to with your poetry group, if you don´t have such a group already. All you need is a room to hold your audience and a microphone for a larger audience.
Enjoyed the Blake Auden poem!

re: Oh my! Well, acting often seems to me a contest between shyness and exibitionism. But, I think declaiming a poem is different. One doesn´t have to act.

Loved Bishop´s take on Robinson Crusoe.

Thanks for the "analysis" of "Babys Way" Shouldn´t the title in English be: "Babys Ways"?

re: Baby's Way - I believe it is (personal) singular possessive.

We had maybe 0.20 m of snow here, no Snowmaggedon for us, with a bit more snow expected. We made an announcement for 4-wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles recommended for church (a bit higher elevation) and cancelled meetings other than Sacrament meeting... got some snow shoveling in.
