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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The eight contributors to \u003ci\u003eThe Poetry of James Joyce Reconsidered \u003c\/i\u003econvincingly 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 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc C.
