Kirkus Book Review
The first posthumous volume of John Berryman's poems contains a great deal: 45 previously unpublished Dream Songs, all of them written after 1967, the year in which Berryman officially completed His Toy, His Dream, His Rest; 11 short poems, one of them so imploring and carefully constrained it may well make you cry; a section of fragmented, unfinished longer poems; and poems John Haffenden unearthed, composed by Berryman closest to the time of his death. Included among the fragments is the ""Proemio"" to what was intended as another major body of work, ""The Children""; it's less an invocation than an indictment of the muses. But the Dream Songs are what is of greatest interest here, and they stand stoutly on their feet--the inflamed and idiosyncratic equal of many that appear in Berryman's two earlier collections. There will undoubtedly be other volumes of Berryman to come; but this one has been put together with great care, to satisfy Berryman scholars and admirers alike.
