A collection of Love Poems "Welladay! Welladay!, For the winds of May!, Love is unhappy when love is away!" The title of the book, "Chamber Music," was reportedly a pun relating to the sound of urine tinkling in a chamber pot, though this seems to be a later embellishment by Joyce of the title's meaning.

"Exiles" is his only play, which he wrote in the midst of composing "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "Ulysses." Joyce noted Henrik Ibsen and his last play "When We Dead Awaken" as major influences.
