Overview
American poet John Berryman's long sequence, The Dream Songs, ranges in tone from the ruefully comic to the blisteringly angry, to the tragic - sometimes within the compass of a single poem.
Product Details
Seller Description
The complete Dream Songs--hypnotic, seductive, masterful--as thrilling to read now as they ever were. This volume collects both 77 Dream Songs, which won Berryman the Pulitzer Prize in 1965, and their continuation, His Toy, His Dream, His Rest, which was awarded the National Book Award and the Bollingen Prize in 1969. The Dream Songs are witty and wild, an account of madness shot through with searing insight, winking word play, and moments of pure, soaring elation. This is a brilliantly sustained and profoundly moving performance that has not yet-and may never be-equaled. 978-0374534554 1.24 pounds 5.65 x 1.1 x 8.25 inches 427 pages Farrar, Straus and Giroux; Reprint edition (October 21, 2014)
