It contains 385 songs, an index of first lines, an index of titles, and a note by the author. \u003cbr\u003eIn his essay on the work, Denis Donoghue says: \"John Berryman has now completed the long poem, \"The Dream Songs,\" begun in 1955 . . . The poet resolved it [the problem of a long poem] in his own way; not Eliot's way in \"Four Quartets,\" Williams's way in \"Paterson,\" Pound's way in the \"Cantos,\" or Hart Crane's way in \"The Bridge\" . . . Mr. Berryman's answer was to conceive a diary, a dream diary.\" \u003cbr\u003e\"A major achievement,\" writes A. Alvarez in \"The Observer.\" \"He has written an elegy on his brilliant generation and, in the process, he has also written an elegy on himself.\" \u003cbr\u003eOf the hero of \"The Dream Songs,\" James Schevill has written: \"The character of Henry is a permanent addition to American literature.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Dream Songs: Poems | John Berryman | Paperback | 9780374516703 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks R 1787611","offer_id":50855366590722,"sku":"1787611","price":28.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61QvR3wIQdL.jpg?v=1792795781","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/dream-songs-poems","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
