	John Berryman's Life and Career
		ERRYMAN was born John Allyn Smith, Jr., in McAlester, Oklahoma, the son of John Allyn Smith, a banker, and Martha Little, formerly a schoolteacher.
		In 1959 they divorced, and Berryman was again in the hospital for alcoholism and nerves; for the rest of his life he was hospitalized at least once a year.
		Berryman's reputation varied over his lifetime, from rising star, to a poet of unrealized promise who was largely excluded from anthologies, and finally in the last eight years of his life to the first rank of American poets, whose Dream Songs became a rare book-club poetry selection.

	Hold the Audience: A Brief Memoir of John Berryman
		Berryman was phoning me from a bar, and no doubt he would be treating his chauffeur to "a couple for the road." At 10:00, when the phone rang for the third time, half of the audience had left.
		Berryman felt a great affection for his audience, so many of whom were seated in ardent adulation at his feet in the large front-room parlor, and he easily established a communion with a couple of the prettier girls in the front rows.
		Berryman's host, he often exhibited the same instant surging of warmth and affection for attractive females, including my younger daughter Deborah, who was seven years old at the time and probably reminded him of his own daughter of about the same age.

		Although he had published several volumes of poetry and a highly regarded biography of Stephen Crane (1950), his literary reputation was not established until the appearance of Homage to Mistress Bradstreet (1956), a long dialogue in verse between Berryman and the ghost of Anne Bradstreet.
		The volumes 77 Dream Songs (1964; Pulitzer Prize) and His Toy, His Dream, His Rest (1968) can be considered a two-part novel in verse in which the only speaker is a middle-aged teacher and lover named Henry, who is the universal voice of an anguished and trivial age.
		Berryman’s other volumes of poetry include Poems (1942), The Dispossessed (1948), Berryman’s Sonnets (1967), and Love and Fame (1971).

		Berryman had agreed to visit my writing seminar that morning, so I was relieved when he finished his liquid breakfast and announced that he was ready to go.
		In the case of Berryman's dream songs, taking this route reminds us that there are parallels with the automatic writing of the 1920s, the dadaists, some of the imagists, and, moving into antiquity, the Apocrypha.
		Freud would be more at home with Berryman as a complex, charming, passionate, and tormented writer than with the question of why the dream songs continue to attract a small but dedicated band of readers.

		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.
		Like his contemporary, Theodore Roethke, Berryman developed a supple, playful, but profound style enlivened by phrases from folklore, children's rhymes, clichés, and slang.

		This is not a critical biography of Berryman, and readers not familiar with the pulsations and contortions of his poetry might wish that it were.
		From Berryman's myriad letters, journal entries, and marginalia, and accounts from family, students, friends, and contemporaries, a picture of the tortured, self-obsessed, and sometimes kind poet emerges.
		From his twelfth year John Berryman was made to understand that the Fates had title to his life.

		Berryman's father shot himself outside the boy's window when he was only twelve years old, an event that would continue to haunt Berryman's work for the rest of his life.
		However, the poem that finally propelled him into public notice was his famous (Homage to Mistress Bradstreet), a poem that represents a dialogue between Berryman and the ghost of BradstreetAnne and established Berryman's ability to affect different egos and voices in his work.
		Father and son are active, energetic business men, and by close attention to the wants of their patrons have widened their custom and enlarged their store, which is now one of the most extensive establishments of the kind in the locality.

		John Berryman (1914-72) has one of the most idiosyncratic voices in American poetry.
		Berryman combined a passionate, disruptive syntax with an irreverent blend of highbrow and lowbrow dictions -- part Shakespeare, part minstrel show, part baby talk.
		We didn't yet recognize the dark truth of Berryman's underlying subject, which was, as he said, "the almost insuperable difficulty of writing high verse in a land that cared and cares so little for it."

		Except for 50 letters written by Berryman to the author during their university days (which, incidentally, provide a fascinating account of the poet's rapid growth under the influence of mentor Mark Van Doren from prep school lout to intellectual), the bulk of this memoir is, unfortunately, more Halliday than Berryman.
		Milt Halliday was Berryman's best friend at Columbia in 1933-34a time in which the poet's inattention to his books in favor of partying nearly got him booted from the university.
		Their regular correspondence began with Halliday's transfer to the University of Michigan and remained strong till Berryman's return from the University of Cambridge in 1938.
