Set Joyce Free: Casa Carlini Reintroduces James Joyce
Nyenta.com/10347987

NEW YORK - Nyenta -- James Joyce spent his life breaking open the possibilities of fiction, and for years after his death, his work remained shadowed by permissions battles and litigation from the Joyce estate under the control of his grandson, Stephen Joyce. Casa Carlini now returns to the books that made Joyce a revolution in real time, with new editions of Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Exiles, and Ulysses under Carlini Classics, and Chamber Music and Pomes Penyeach under the poetry imprint Poetica.

Born in Dublin in 1882, Joyce became one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, celebrated for his experimental use of language and his radical exploration of consciousness, memory, exile, and artistic self-creation. This series follows the arc of that achievement: Dubliners captures a city suspended between paralysis and revelation; A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man traces Stephen Dedalus's struggle toward artistic freedom; Exiles turns Joyce's obsessions with love and jealousy into drama; and Ulysses transforms a single day in Dublin into one of the defining works of modern literature.

The poetry volumes restore another essential part of Joyce's legacy. Chamber Music, first published in 1907, introduced Joyce as a poet of lyric delicacy and musical control, while Pomes Penyeach, published in 1927, gathered thirteen later poems marked by greater compression, directness, and economy.

The covers for this Joyce series were designed by Annabella Hong, a graphic design student from SAIC in Chicago. Using flat, saturated color fields, elegant serif typography, and spare white line drawings, Hong's designs make Joyce feel vivid, witty, and unexpectedly approachable.

"For too long, Joyce has been treated as either sacred property or sacred difficulty," said Charles Carlini, founder of Casa Carlini. "These editions return him to readers as what he always was: a daring, funny, intimate, and radically alive writer. And placing Chamber Music and Pomes Penyeach in Poetica restores something essential to his legacy—that he was a poet from the beginning."

The James Joyce editions from Carlini Classics and Poetica are available now through Casa Carlini (https://casacarlini.com), major booksellers, and Amazon.
