About this title

About the Author:

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, John Berryman (1914-1972) was the author of 77 Dream Songs, Love & Fame, and Berryman's Shakespeare.

From Library Journal:

Crane was popular while alive, but slipped quickly into obscurity after his death. He died at age 28 but did leave a legacy of published novels, short stories, poetry, and journalism. Released initially in 1950 and then revised in 1962, this was the first serious critical look at Crane, buttressing his reputation as a great American artist, although his creativity, or at least his application of it, came sporadically. Berryman offers lots of insight into Crane's creative process.
