Poems

'His writing is not about something; it is that something itself' Samuel Beckett

James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist has often overshadowed his achievements as a poet, yet his verse occupies a pivotal position in his career. This new edition comprises all the poetry that was published in Joyce's lifetime, including his highly accomplished 1907 debut Chamber Music, which fused exuberant lyricism with sharp irony, and the later collection Pomes Penyeach, which confronted adultery, jealousy and betrayal. Also included here are the satirical poems ‘The Holy Office’ and ‘Gas from a Burner’, and ‘Ecce Puer’, written for his new-born grandson.

With a new introduction and notes by Clare Hutton.
