Dream Song is the story of John Berryman, one of the most gifted
poets of a generation that included Elizabeth Bishop, Randall
Jarrell, Robert Lowell, and Dylan Thomas. Using Berryman's
unpublished letters and poetry, as well as interviews with those
who knew him intimately, Paul Mariani captures Berryman's genius
and the tragedy that dogged him, while at the same time
illuminating one of the most provocative periods in American
letters. Here we witness Berryman's struggles with alcohol and
drugs, his obsession with women and fame, and his friendships with
luminary writers of the century. Mariani creates an unforgettable
portrait of a poet who, by the time of his suicide at age
fifty-seven, had won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award.
