Drawing on published and previously unpublished manuscript sources
in poetry and prose, John Berryman's Public Vision offers an
original reappraisal of an important twentieth-century American
poet's work. Challenging the confessional labelling of him that has
dominated his critical reception and popular perception for
decades, the book argues that Berryman (1914-72) had a far greater
concern for developments in the public sphere than has previously
been acknowledged. It reassesses the poet's engagements with W.B.
Yeats and Robert Bhain Campbell in the 1940s and offers radical re-
contexualisations of Berryman's work from every stage of his
career. Concluding with an account of Berryman's influence on
contemporary writing on both sides of the Atlantic, John Berryman's
Public Vision provides a detailed and comprehensive reconsideration
of the poet's achievement in his centenary year.
