Authors John Berryman (1914-1972) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Poetry Since 1945: Authors: John Berryman (1914-1972) Index John Berryman's life parallels Robert Lowell's in some respects. Born in Oklahoma, he was educated in the Northeast at prep school and at Columbia University, and later was a fellow at Princeton University. Specializing in traditional forms and meters, he was inspired by early American history and wrote self- critical, confessional poems in his Dream Songs (1969), which feature a grotesque autobiographical character named Henry and reflections on his own teaching routine, chronic alcoholism, and ambition. Like his contemporary, Theodore Roethke Index

Add to a Notebook John Berryman John Berryman was born John Smith in MacAlester, Oklahoma, in 1914. He received an undergraduate degree from Columbia College in 1936 and attended Cambridge University on a fellowship. He taught at Wayne State University in Detroit and went on to occupy posts at Harvard and Princeton. From 1955 until his death in 1972, he was a professor at the University of Minnesota. His early work was published in a volume entitled Five Young American Poets in 1940 and reflects the influences of the British poets W. B. Yeats W. H. Auden Gerard Manley Hopkins , and the Americans Hart Crane and Ezra Pound Poems (1942) and The Dispossessed It was not until the publication of Homage to Mistress Bradstreet in 1956, when he was already in his forties, that he won widespread recognition and acclaim as a boldly original and innovative poet. Nevertheless, no one was prepared for the innovation that would follow, a collection that would seal Berryman's reputation as an essential American original: 77 Dream Songs , which was published in 1964 and awarded a Pulitzer Prize, unveiled the unforgettable and irreppressible alter egos "Henry" and "Mr. Bones" in a sequence of sonnet-like poems whose wrenched syntax, scrambled diction, extraordinary leaps of language and tone, and wild mixture of high lyricism and low comedy plumbed the extreme reaches of a human soul and psyche. In succeeding years Berryman added to the sequence, until there were nearly four hundred collected as

25. The New York Review Of Books: Auden's Prose A review of Auden's collection of essays, by the poet john berryman. http://www.nybooks.com/articles/13750

@import "/css/default.css"; Home Your account Current issue Archives ... Email to a friend Review Auden's Prose By John Berryman The Dyer's Hand by W.H. Auden Random House, $7.50 Since many readers will be as pleased as this reviewer that Auden has put together a fat selection of his critical writings of recent years, and since it goes without saying that Auden's opinions are important because they are his, I want to look into the curious fact that he does not really sound like a professional critic and perhaps is not one. Perhaps he is too modest and too generous. These virtues shine again and again from these pages, and they are remarkable enough in one of the chief poets of the age, a man internationally celebrated now for thirty years, also a man known in his legend for a witty, savaging tongue, whereas here he several times refuses to exemplify a Bad Work on the ground that to do so would be "cruel." But probably a critic must take the moral risk and be tougher, for it is his job, among other things, to assert and to judge: to propagate the faith and only the faith. Worse still, he writes too well. His critical prose is not up to William Empson's or Edmund Wilson's, being even more informal than the one and less cunningly organized than the other; but that these names come up is tribute enough. (His imaginative prose, in
