Joycean

A  L  O  H  A !

" The heaventree of stars
hung with humid
nightblue fruit. "

James Joyce
















" The writer begins
with the arbitrary,
the accidental,
the insignificant,
and transmits them
into an object
that has intention,
design,
and significance. "

James Joyce















" I'm like a man
who stumbles;
my foot strikes
something,
I look down,
and there is 
E X A C T L Y
what I'm in
need of. "
James Joyce
via Louis Manand
in the New Yorker



22 publishers 
rejected Joyce's 
 The Dubliners.

We construct our art,
our home,
our life,
from stuff we find
day to day.

That thing you notice
becomes a diadem;
Memory the jeweler
fastens diamonds 
on your hem.

Thank YOU
for voyaging here,
Ulysses
