  ''A scheme of echoes'': Trevor Joyce, poetry and publishing in Ireland in the 1960s. - Journal, Magazine, Article, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Trevor Joyce's involvement as a poet, publisher and critic of the Irish literary scene of the 1960s stands as an incidence of resistance to both ideological and racial pressures as well as to the aesthetic pretensions of the alleged renaissance therein.
Joyce's further identification of a belief in the 'redemptive' qualities of poetry in Liddy's work is an acute one, and is part of a wider poetic impulse in Ireland at the time; poetry as a redemptive mode, both restoring--and testifying to--a sense of Irish cultural vitality and independence.
In this respect Joyce is one of a minority of writers in Ireland in the 1960s striving for a genuinely new and challenging mode of poetic expression free from presumptions of his contemporaries and their subscription to previous nationalistic and poetic creeds.

 Trevor Joyce - with the first dream . . .
Founder of the seminal New Writers' Press in Dublin, Joyce is Ireland's most stimulating late-modernist poet, unrepentantly engaging the global modernist tradition at a time when it would seem to many that Irish writers, whether in the Republic or the orphaned north, prefer to hunker down and be parochial.
Joyce's work has also been marked by great patience in not forcing solutions: witness a nineteen-year interval in mid-career between two of his collections.
Joyce's inventiveness, restlessness, range – these qualities in operation and not simply packaged in last year's Christmas wrapping – are simply stunning.

 Joyce and Trevor's Dubliners: the legacy of colonialism - James Joyce and William Trevor - Special "Dubliners" Number ...
Both Joyce and Trevor's stories obliquely reveal how Irish men, conditioned by the historical weight of colonization, are partly responsible for their inability to transcend their sense of cultural alienation and inferiority.
Trevor also deftly probes the Irish response to the colonial experience by examining how some Irish men's lack of self-esteem is manifested in an astringent anti-intellectualism.
Trevor himself acknowledges that "In Ireland you can escape neither politics nor history, for when you travel through the country today the long conflict its landscape has known does not readily belong in the far-away past as Hastings or Stamford Bridge does for the English" (A Writer's Ireland 51).

 Trevor Joyce's Syzygy Reviewed in The Irish Times
Thus we still read about the "realistic grittiness" of novelist X or "the sombre portrayal" of Irish life by writer Y or "the sensuousness" of Z's poetry; and we are smugly back in the age of Victoria.
Joyce and Beckett did their thing, and Bord Fáilte are truly grateful to them, but there are more important matters to think about, thank you very much, like selling the film rights and making lots of money and being quoted by politicians and appearing on chat shows and being relevant to the Northern situation, etc.
Syzygy, Joyce's latest work, is presented as a text comprising three parts: the first two are verse, titled respectively "The Drift" and "The Net", while the third, two pages of prose, provides "Some Notes".

 Law above Nations:Supranational Courts and the Legalization of Politics - a book from the University Press of Florida
More importantly, however, Williams shows how in Joyce the paralysis is always provisional, and explores the ways in which Joyce’s characters do indeed demonstrate means of resistance to the British state, to class distinctions, to clerical hegemony, and to power imbalances in familial and sexual relationships.
He also engages contemporary Joyce critics, including Fredric Jameson, Franco Moretti, and Terry Eagleton, many of whom have attempted to redress the leftist attacks on Joyce and to demonstrate his relevance to a postcolonial critical approach.
Williams’s answer, formulated in the first chapter, is to argue that reading Joyce, who was keenly aware of the impact of unequal power relations, is not only justifiable but relevant, legitimate, and necessary.

 Kevin Higgins
(Joyce was born in 1947.) In the opening stanza of The Importance of the Bells (Meath St. Church) he shows a real talent for dragging everyday images into exotic contexts:
The bells are born and die becoming part of history along with the French Revolution, two world wars, Lawrence of Arabia, and the death of the cat who is posing dramatically in the gutter.
An experimentalist he may be, but Joyce is light years away from those ‘Avant-gardists’ who make poems consisting just of semi-colons or solitary free floating words.

 Jacket 20 - Andrew Duncan reviews Trevor Joyce
Joyce (b.1947) debuted with a chapbook, Sole Glum Trek, in 1967.
Unlike any other adaptor, Joyce raises the possibility that Suibhne’s state of dissociation, his visceral rejection of everything social, is the most interesting aspect of the legend.
Popular culture is big in the area of empty friendliness and collusion, and Joyce’s etching-acid tonality is perhaps the negative of this affirmative culture.

Billy Mills assembles his poems in a manner that some would critique as artificial; this assembly could itself be read, however, as both an affirmation of song and a critique of the natural voice.
In the work of Trevor Joyce, the most aggressively experimental of these poets, the commitment to assembly can be total.
Joyce’s Syzygy is comprised of two poems: “The Drift,” in twelve short-lined, unpunctuated stanzas; and “The Net,” in twenty-four long-lined tercets.

This is part of a larger project which Mr Joyce already began in a number of his texts included in his most recent volume of collected poems, With the first dream of the fire they hunt the cold (New Writers' Press/Shearsman Books, 2001) and, most specifically, in Syzygy, Hopeful Monsters and Trem Neul.

 University Press of Florida: Reading Joyce Politically
"For most Joyce readers being Irish means being anti-British, anti-capitalist, anti-upper class, and occasionally even anti-clerical, so we need to be reminded just how political the concerns of Joyce’s characters really were.
[This] study goes a long way in debunking the old critical shibboleth, fostered by Joyce himself, that he was not a ‘political’ writer, a notion that his character/surrogate, Stephen Dedalus, belies with his pledge to write ‘the uncreated conscience of his race.’ "--Zack Bowen, University of Miami

While Dublin has long been considered an important literary city, it has only occasionally been an exciting place for experimental writing, and is perhaps better known as a place experimental writers leave than a place they come to write.
Joyce and Beckett are the most famous examples of expatriate Irish experimentalists, but they are by no means alone Thomas MacGreevy and Brian Coffey, among others, joined the Stephen Dedalus-like flight to other shores.
This sense of creative synergy among poets like Joyce, Billy Mills, Catherine Walsh, Maurice Scully, Randolph Healy and Geoffrey Squires promises to open new possibilities for an Irish poetry that has, in the last few decades, produced stunning achievements in virtually all areas but formal innovation.

In contrast, Irish experimental poets like Billy Mills, Randoph Healy, Trevor Joyce and the three poets reviewed here have survived in the shadows of near total obscurity, with virtually no support from the institutions of Irish literature that havenurtured such talents as Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon and Eavan Boland.
In seeking such paths these poets are far from alone-Trevor Joyce's cosmopolitan poetry and the scientific/epistemological poetics of Billy Mills and Randolph Healy are trails blazed around the same mountain.
Inasmuch as the current generation of Irish experimentalists has read and been influenced by the generation of the 30s-and all of them acknowledge the influence-what we have is not merely a precedent, but a tradition.
