Description
John Berryman's The Dream Songs are a hypnotic and masterful cycle of poems that continue to thrill readers today. This collection, comprising both 77 Dream Songs and His Toy, His Dream, His Rest, is a deeply personal and profoundly moving performance that explores the complexities of the human experience.
Through witty and wild verse, Berryman crafts an account of madness that is shot through with searing insight and winking word play. With moments of pure, soaring elation, The Dream Songs are a brilliant and sustained exploration of the human condition.
This volume collects the complete works of a uniquely American poet, one who both breaks down and patches himself together again in his poetry. With its intuitive truth and electric verses, The Dream Songs are a worthwhile read for anyone interested in poetry and the human experience.
