James Joyce, a British poet of the 19th century, was revolutionary in his complex, strange works of poetry. During his life, Joyce's writings were pirated, censored and even burned, but today, he is remembered as a literary genius. A modernist of his time, Joyce studied everything across the spectrum -- medicine, languages, music and journalism, and after struggling through countless adversities, finally earned the recognition he had dedicated his life to achieving.
“Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.”
- James Joyce
