At first glance, Joyce’s shorter works – his poems and epiphanies, Giacomo Joyce, and Exiles – seem to bear a tenuous relationship to the books for which Joyce has become famous. It is questionable whether the epiphanies and Giacomo Joyce should even be called ‘works’: Joyce published neither in its original form, choosing instead to loot both for the more ambitious undertakings that followed. Only forty of at least seventy-one epiphanies are extant, and their relationship to one another had to be reconstructed from manuscript evidence: the sketches that comprise Giacomo Joyce were similarly composed, arranged, and abandoned, but not destroyed. Chamber Music, although published in 1907, was orphaned when Joyce delegated the final arrangement of the poems to his brother Stanislaus. Pomes Penyeach, as the title suggests, is a modest offering of twelve and a tilly poetic ‘fruits’. Only Exiles continued to hold Joyce’s interest as an autonomous composition not destined for immediate verbal recycling.
