James Joyce 1882-1941 led the vanguard of twentieth-century fiction, and his experimental use of language and stream of consciousness continues to captivate, intrigue, and influence readers and writers. Universally known for his novelsi A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Mani 1916, iUlyssesi 1922, and iFinnegans Wakei 1939, Joyce was also a lyric poet and based some of his poems on music. Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, the band Sonic Youth, and composers Samuel Barber and Ross Lee Finney have musically adapted his poems. This volume combines two of Joyce's poetry books -- iChamber Musici 1907, a collection of thirty-six love poems, and iPomes Penyeachi 1927, which features thirteen poems -- with two longer poems by Joyce, The Holy Office and Gas from a Burner. br
