Publisher Description
Chamber Music
by James Joyce
Narrated by Denis Daly
This collection of 36 short poems was published in 1907.
The title is alleged to be an ironic pun referring cryptically to the sound of urine striking the sides of a chamber pot. However, the poems have no touch of vulgarity or bawdiness.
The collection received favorable critical comments from Ezra Pound and W. B. Yeats.
Joyce later commented on the poems: "When I wrote Chamber Music, I was a lonely boy, walking about by myself at night and thinking that one day a girl would love me."
