Описание: This edition combines "The 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 and contains all 385 songs. Of "The Dream Songs," A. Alvarez wrote in "The Observer," "A major achievement." "He has written an elegy on his brilliant generation and, in the process, he has also written an elegy on himself." John Berryman was born in Oklahoma in 1914. The author of several volumes of poetry, of which "The Dream Songs "is considered his masterwork, he died, a suicide, in 1972. This edition combines "The 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 and contains all 385 songs. Of "The Dream Songs," A. Alvarez wrote in "The Observer," "A major achievement." "He has written an elegy on his brilliant generation and, in the process, he has also written an elegy on himself." Reissued with an introduction by W. S. Mervin, this book stands as a perfect representation of Berryman's originality and technical brilliance--for instance his understanding of the nature and limits of the American epic poem. "The character of Henry the hero of "The Dream Songs"] is a permanent addition to our literature."--James Schevill "A major achievement . . . Berryman] has written an elegy on his brilliant generation and, in the process, he has also written an elegy on himself."--A. Alvarez, "The Observer"

Описание:

A wild, masterful Pulitzer Prize-winning cycle of poems that half a century later still shocks and astounds
John Berryman was hardly unknown when he published 77 Dream Songs, but the volume was, nevertheless, a shock and a revelation. A "spooky" collection in the words of Robert Lowell-"a maddening work of genius."
As Henri Cole notes in his elegant, perceptive introduction, Berryman had discovered "a looser style that mixed high and low dictions with a strange syntax." Berryman had also discovered his most enduring alter ego, a paranoid, passionate, depressed, drunk, irrepressible antihero named Henry or, sometimes, Mr. Bones: "We touch at certain points," Berryman claimed, of Henry, "But I am an actual human being."
Henry may not be real, but he comes alive on the page. And while the most famous of the Dream Songs begins, "Life, friends, is boring," these poems never are. Henry lusts: seeing a woman "Filling her compact & delicious body / with chicken p prika" he can barely restrain himself: "only the fact of her husband & four other people / kept me from springing on her." Henry despairs: "All the world like a woolen lover / once did seem on Henry's side. / Then came a departure." Henry, afraid of his own violent urges, consoles himself: "Nobody is ever missing."
77 Dream Songs won the Pulitzer Prize in 1965, but Berryman's formal and emotional innovations-he cracks the language open, creates a new idiom in which to express eternal feelings-remain as alive and immediate today as ever.

Описание: John Berryman`s Dream Songs are perhaps the funniest, saddest, most intricately wrought cycle of poems by an American in the twentieth century. This title collects 77 Dream Songs, which won Berryman the Pulitzer Prize in 1965, and their continuation, His Toy, His Dream, His Rest, which won the National Book Award and the Bollingen Prize in 1969.
