About this product
Product Information
This edition combines "77 Dream Songs," awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1965, and "His Toy, His Dream, His Rest," which won the National Book Award for Poetry in 1969. It contains 385 songs, an index of first lines, an index of titles, and a note by the author. In his essay on the work, Denis Donoghue says: "John Berryman has now completed the long poem, "The Dream Songs," begun in 1955 . . . The poet resolved it [the problem of a long poem] in his own way; not Eliot's way in "Four Quartets," Williams's way in "Paterson," Pound's way in the "Cantos," or Hart Crane's way in "The Bridge" . . . Mr. Berryman's answer was to conceive a diary, a dream diary." "A major achievement," writes A. Alvarez in "The Observer." "He has written an elegy on his brilliant generation and, in the process, he has also written an elegy on himself." Of the hero of "The Dream Songs," James Schevill has written: "The character of Henry is a permanent addition to American literature."
