The preperiodic dynatomic curve $𝓧_{n,p}$ is the closure in ℂ² of the set of (c,z) such that z is a preperiodic point of the polynomial $z ↦ z^{d} + c$ with preperiod n and period p (n,p ≥ 1). We prove that each $𝓧_{n,p}$ has exactly d-1 irreducible components, which are all smooth and have pairwise transverse intersections at the singular points of $𝓧_{n,p}$. We also compute the genus of each component and the Galois group of the defining polynomial of $𝓧_{n,p}$.
