Williams in P'Town to Joyce in Camden in 6 hours

Aboard a ferry on smooth waters yesterday I received an email inviting me to meet in Camden last nigth at 6PM at the poets walk , 4 doors from the theatre as Brendan Kilty had returned. 3 years ago, Brendan had given Michael Doyle a brick from the house where James Joyce wrote his famous "The Dead" and had returned to see the brick, now enshrined in a wheel of stone rescued from an old mill where it crushed oats for generations. On the bricks surrounding it are the names of poets and playwrights, living and dead, who now guard Joyce's brick with words of their own. In one day I went from Tennessee Williams on the cape to the words of James Joyce in Camden. P'Town had released me just in time for this moment and the clear blue skies, calm seas and a quick plane ride landed me safely on Jasper Street. Brendan is a blessing to us all. Thanks, Helene for the invitation and thank you Brendan for your constant inspiration.
