To many, James Joyce is simply the greatest novelist of the
twentieth century. Scholars have pored over every minutia of his
public and private life from utility bills to deeply personal
letters in search of new insights into his life and work. Yet, for
the most part, they have paid scant attention to the two volumes of
poetry he published. The nine contributors to The Poetry of James
Joyce Reconsideredconvincingly challenge the critical consensus
that Joyce's poetry is inferior to his prose. They reveal how his
poems provide entries into Joyce's most personal and intimate
thoughts and ideas. They also demonstrate that Joyce's poetic
explorations - of the nature of knowledge, sexual intimacy, the
changing quality of love, the relations between writing and music,
and the religious dimensions of the human experience - were
fundamental to his development as a writer of prose. This exciting
new work is sure to spark new interest in Joyce's poetry, and will
become an essential and indispensable resource for students and
scholars of his life and work.
