This elegant new collection brings together the finest lyrical work of James Joyce, offering readers a carefully curated selection of his most evocative and emotionally resonant poems.

‘Joyce’s work is outspoken, vigorous, original, beautiful.’ —John Albert Macy

Known primarily for his revolutionary prose in Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Finnegans Wake, Joyce was also a deeply sensitive and musical poet whose verse reveals a more intimate, often overlooked side of his genius. Spanning love, longing, memory, and loss, this selection includes beloved classics such as ‘I Hear an Army’, ‘She Weeps Over Rahoon’, and ‘A Flower Given to My Daughter’, as well as lyrical gems like ‘Rain Has Fallen All the Day’, ‘Ecce Puer’, and ‘Nightpiece’. These poems move between the sensual and the spiritual, the playful and the profound, capturing the emotional richness that runs beneath all of Joyce’s writing.

Selected Poetry of James Joyce offers both longtime admirers and new readers a lyrical pathway into the heart of one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary minds.

James Joyce

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882. One of the most influential writers of the 20th Century, Joyce's life was punctuated by poverty, critical controversy and self-imposed exile. Joyce was one of the pioneering figures of modernism and counted W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound amongst his earliest supporters. Before his death in 1941, Joyce had published Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Dubliners; works that today are recognized as amongst the greatest achievements in literature.
