Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. John Berryman (1914-72) was a poet from an immensely gifted generation of American poets that included Robert Lowell, Randall Jarrell and Elizabeth Bishop. His long sequence The Dream Songs has become an enduring landmark in American poetry and a tribute to Berryman's own endurance in the face of alcoholism, depression and mental instability. In 1972 he leaped to his death from a bridge above the Mississippi River. In this series, contemporary poets select and introduce a poet of the past who they have particularly admired. By their selection and personal and critical reactions, they offer an insight into their own work, as well as providing an introduction to some of the greatest poets in history.
