{"product_id":"joyce-poems-and-a-play-isbn-9780375712333","title":"Joyce: Poems and a Play","description":"This selection of the major poems James Joyce published in his lifetime is accompanied by his only surviving play, \u003ci\u003eExiles\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joyce is most celebrated for his remarkable novel \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, and yet he was also a highly accomplished poet. \u003ci\u003eChamber Music\u003c\/i\u003e is his debut collection of lyrical love poems, which he intended to be set to music; in it, he enlivens the styles of the Celtic Revival with his own brand of playful irony. \u003ci\u003ePomes Penyeach\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection written while Joyce was working on \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e, sounds intimately autobiographical notes of passion and betrayal that would go on to resonate throughout the rest of his work. Joyce’s other poems include the moving “Ecce Puer,” written on the occasion of the birth of his grandson, and his fiery satires “The Holy Office” and “Gas from a Burner.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eExiles\u003c\/i\u003e was written after Joyce had left Ireland, never to return; it is a richly nuanced drama that reflects a grappling with the state of his own marriage and career as he was about to embark on the writing of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e. In its tale of an unconventional couple involved in a love triangle, \u003ci\u003eExiles \u003c\/i\u003eengages Joycean themes of envy and jealousy, freedom and love, men and women, and the complicated relationship between an artist and his homeland.CHAMBER MUSIC (1907) \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI Strings in the earth and air \u003cbr\u003eII The twilight turns from amethyst \u003cbr\u003eIII At that hour when all things have repose \u003cbr\u003eIV When the shy star goes forth in heaven\u003cbr\u003eV Lean out of the window \u003cbr\u003eVI I would in that sweet bosom be \u003cbr\u003eVII My love is in a light attire\u003cbr\u003eVIII Who goes amid the green wood\u003cbr\u003eIX Winds of May, that dance on the sea\u003cbr\u003eX Bright cap and streamers \u003cbr\u003eXI Bid adieu, adieu, adieu \u003cbr\u003eXII What counsel has the hooded moon \u003cbr\u003eXIII Go seek her out all courteously \u003cbr\u003eXIV My dove, my beautiful one \u003cbr\u003eXV From dewy dreams, my soul, arise \u003cbr\u003eXVI O cool is the valley now \u003cbr\u003eXVII Because your voice was at my side \u003cbr\u003eXVIII O Sweetheart, hear you \u003cbr\u003eXIX Be not sad because all men. \u003cbr\u003eXX In the dark pine-wood \u003cbr\u003eXXI He who hath glory lost, nor hath\u003cbr\u003eXXII Of that so sweet imprisonment \u003cbr\u003eXXIII This heart that flutters near my heart \u003cbr\u003eXXIV Silently she’s combing  \u003cbr\u003eXXV Lightly come or lightly go \u003cbr\u003eXXVI Thou leanest to the shell of night \u003cbr\u003eXXVII Though I thy Mithridates were \u003cbr\u003eXXVIII Gentle lady, do not sing \u003cbr\u003eXXIX Dear heart, why will you use me so? \u003cbr\u003eXXX Love came to us in time gone by \u003cbr\u003eXXXI O, it was out by Donnycarney \u003cbr\u003eXXXII Rain has fallen all the day \u003cbr\u003eXXXIII Now, O now, in this brown land \u003cbr\u003eXXXIV Sleep now, O sleep now \u003cbr\u003eXXXV All day I hear the noise of waters  \u003cbr\u003eXXXVI I hear an army charging upon the land \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePOMES PENYEACH (1927) \u003cbr\u003e1 Tilly \u003cbr\u003e2 Watching the Needleboats at San Sabba \u003cbr\u003e3 A Flower Given to My Daughter \u003cbr\u003e4 She Weeps over Rahoon \u003cbr\u003e5 Tutto e` Sciolto \u003cbr\u003e6 On the Beach at Fontana \u003cbr\u003e7 Simples \u003cbr\u003e8 Flood \u003cbr\u003e9 Nightpiece \u003cbr\u003e10 Alone \u003cbr\u003e11 A Memory of the Players in a Mirror at Midnight \u003cbr\u003e12 Bahnhofstrasse \u003cbr\u003e13 A Prayer \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTHE HOLY OFFICE (1904) \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGAS FROM A BURNER (1912) \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eECCE PUER (1932) \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEXILES (1918) \u003cbr\u003eJames Joyce, the twentieth century’s most influential novelist, was born in Dublin on February 2, 1882. The oldest of ten children, he grew up in a family that went from prosperity to penury because of his father’s wastrel behavior. After receiving a rigorous Jesuit education, twenty-year-old Joyce renounced his Catholicism and left Dublin in 1902 to spend most of his life as a writer in exile in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich. On one trip back to Ireland, he fell in love with the now famous Nora Barnacle on June 16, the day he later chose as “Bloomsday” in his novel \u003ci\u003eUlysses. \u003c\/i\u003eNara was an uneducated Galway girl who became his lifelong companion an the mother of his two children. In debt and drinking heavily, Joyce lived for thirty-six years on the Continent, supporting himself first by teaching jobs, then trough the patronage of Mrs. Harold McCormick (Edith Rockerfeller) and the English feminist and editor Harriet Shaw Weaver. His writings include\u003ci\u003eChamber Music \u003c\/i\u003e(1907), \u003ci\u003eDubliners \u003c\/i\u003e(1914), \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man \u003c\/i\u003e(1916), \u003ci\u003eExiles \u003c\/i\u003e(1918), \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e(1922), \u003ci\u003ePomes Penyeach \u003c\/i\u003e(1927), \u003ci\u003eFinnegan's Wake \u003c\/i\u003e(1939), and an early draft of \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of a Young Man, Stephan Hero \u003c\/i\u003e(1944). \u003ci\u003eUlysses \u003c\/i\u003erequired seven years to complete, and his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eFinnegan's Wake, \u003c\/i\u003etook seventeen. Both works revolutionized the form, structure, and content of the novel. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941.","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305121173733,"sku":"NP9780375712333","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780375712333.jpg?v=1767730489","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/joyce-poems-and-a-play-isbn-9780375712333","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
