Shantyfreak C. Fox Smith Sea Poems (PermaThread) (229* d) RE: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems 01 Dec 06

Interesting question that:

Which is Cicely Fox Smith's best poem?

I grant the claims of Sailortown as the best song (i.e. marriage of words and music) and have often listened to Dick Miles playing it live and on his recordings. Thanks, Dick.

But for best poem, no music, I personally have had Lee Fore Brace at the top of my list since I first came across her work, thanks to Pinch of Salt's album Hand Spike Gruel & Sea Boot Duff. Thanks Danny and co.

I stripped away the music and now use it as a recital piece.
So that is my vote. What's yours?
