Poems and Shorter Writings

This collection brings together all the poems published by James Joyce in his lifetime, most notably “Chamber Music” and “Pomes Penyeach”. It also includes a large body of his satiric or humorous occasional verse, much of which is fugitive and little known to the general reader. In addition, the volume provides the text of the surviving prose “Epiphanies, Giacomo Joyce” – the fascinating Trieste notebook that Joyce compiled while finishing “A Portrait of the Artist” and beginning “Ulysses”, in which he first explored the world of his autobiographical novel.
