Two books were published on Joy's poetry.

A Point of Departure (1967), with engravings by Richard Shirley Smith.

Twelve Months of the Year (1981), with engravings by Simon Brett.

In both cases the purpose of publishing these books was mainly to promote the work of the respective artists, following encouragment from Joy - hence her involvement.
