Abstract

James Joyce (1882-1941) the poet is considerably less read than Joyce the novelist. The importance and influence of Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939) in Modernist literature are great enough to overshadow even the other fictional works by Joyce. As a result, only recently were Joyce’s uncollected poems translated in Brazilian Portuguese (Outra poesia, 2022, trans. Vitor Amaral). Moreover, no volume with Joyce’s complete poems – that is, with the collected and uncollected poems together – has ever been published in Portuguese. I present here the translation of “Strings in the earth and air” (from Chamber Music, 1907) and “Bahnhofstrasse” (from Pomes Pennyeach, 1927) as the first step towards the publication of Joyce’s complete poetry in Portuguese: Toda a poesia [All the Poetry].
