James Joyce is most celebrated for his remarkable novel <i>Ulysses</i>, and yet he was also an accomplished poet. <i>Chamber Music</i>, his debut collection, fused the styles of the Celtic Revival with his own brand of ironic exuberance. <i>Pomes Penyeach</i>, a collection written when Joyce had published <i>Dubliners </i>and was completing <i>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</i>, explores intimate themes of adultery, jealousy, and betrayal that would reappear transformed in the later <i>Ulysses</i>. Joyce''s occasional verse includes the well-known "Ecce Puer," written for his newborn grandson, and his satirical poems "The Holy Office" and "Gas from a Burner." These poems are brought together here with Joyce''s play, <i>Exiles</i>--about an unconventional couple involved in a love triangle--in a beautiful, accessible hardcover edition for the general reader.
