This study focuses on theatricality and melancholia in John
Berryman's The Dream Songs, and proposes to view them as inherent
in the American cultural experience. It discusses Berryman's work
in the context of a larger debate on the significance of loss in
the process of subject formation and its relation to language, with
a commentary on the presences and absences found in the Polish
translations of the poem. Revealing the mechanisms of staging the
Self after loss, the Songs provide insight into the theatrical and
dialogue-driven, context-dependent, intertextual and continuously
rewritten character of the American subject.
