What Members Thought
I was pleasantly surprised by this slim collection of early poetry by Joyce. It's a lot more flowery and romantic than I would ever imagine Joyce poems being; but clearly the poems were written in a youthful state of exuberance in which love is most conspicuously on the mind. While simple, the poems are clearly well crafted, and some particular ones are quite unexpectedly superb. Most of it is not stop-the-presses kind of great poetry, but it's melodious and charming enough to warrant attention.

Mostly I looked for this because of it's connection to the Syd Barrett song "Golden Hair". But, I am also a reader of James Joyce. This is a very quick read, if the copy I got was complete?
