James Joyce (1882-1941) is most famous as a novelist and the author of Ulysses.  He was also a skilled poet, however, and his first published work, Chamber Music (1907), was a book of poems.  He wrote poems throughout his career, and in 1927 he collected thirteen of the shorter verses and published them in a slender volume entitled Pomes Penyeach. It is from this collection that I chose "Simples," "Tilly," "Alone," and "Watching the Needleboats at San Sabba."  Incidentally, these were my very first compositions, written in the fall of 1991.
