James Joyce is a poet, novelist, teacher (Ireland).
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (born James Augusta Joyce; 2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the twentieth century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, letters, and occasional journalism. Born in Dublin into a middle-class family, Joyce attended the Jesuit Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare, then, briefly, the Christian Brothers–run O'Connell School.

Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 25 of them (8%) have the Moon in Cancer, like James Joyce, and 10 (3%) share the Pushya Nakshatra — the #17 most common Moon Nakshatra among writers and poets, where Shravana leads with 18 (6%).
