Faber are pleased to announce the relaunch of the poetry list - starting in Spring 2001 and continuing, with publication dates each month, for the rest of the year. This will involve a new jacket design recalling the typographic virtues of the classic Faber poetry covers, connecting the backlist and the new titles within a single embracing cover solution. A major reissue program is scheduled, to include classic individual collections from each decade, some of which have long been unavailable: Wallace Stevens's Harmonium and Ezra Pound's Personae from the 1920s; W.H. Auden's Poems (1930); Robert Lowell's Life Studies from the 1950s; John Berryman's 77 Dream Songs and Philip Larkin's The Whitsun Weddings from the 1960s; Ted Hughes's Gaudete and Seamus Heaney's Field Work from the 1970s; Michael Hofmann's Acrimony and Douglas Dunn's Elegies from the 1980s. Timed to celebrate publication of Seamus Heaney's new collection, Electric Light, the relaunch is intended to re-emphasize the predominance of Faber Poetry, and to celebrate a series which has played a shaping role in the history of modern poetry since its inception in the 1920s.… (plus d'informations)

I felt very little connection. ( )
  S.D. | Apr 4, 2014 |
My reading of poetry tends to be unsophisticated: I read it before I go to sleep, but I've read enough modernist stuff closely enough that I have little to no patience for those who just want to write straightforward, formless verse, i.e., almost everything that people write these days.

Berryman hits the sweet spot: I don't feel like I need a guidebook to these poems, but I also feel like he's a very intelligent man. The distancing mechanisms help a lot, as does the fun way he completely disregards any consistency in first vs third person. But mainly, these are beautifully formed poems that do just enough intellectually to keep me interested. Will I trawl through the rest of the Dream Songs? Well, 77 was a good number for one book. 308 might be a couple of hundred too many for one sitting. ( )

Dated 4/2/70 in pencil on the title page,this is one of the first book of poems I ever bought. Yellow pages, coffee stains, lots of wear. This book opened up a new world for me. The opening still resonates:

Huffy Henry hid the day
unappeasable Henry sulked.
I see his point,--a trying to put things over.
It was the thought that they thought
they could do it made Henry wicked and away.
But he should have come out and talked.

*****

The Mr Bones device is one of the weirdest ways of wrestling with racism ever. In the preliminary note, JB wrote, "Many opinions and errors in the Songs are to be referred not to the character of Henry, still less to the author, but to the title of the work." ( )

Groups of John Berryman's Dream Songs have been coming out in magazines for the last five years. They have been talked about, worried over, denounced, adored. They are puzzling, not quite intelligible—and beyond a doubt fun to read or hear. When they don't make you cry—these poems will make you laugh. And that is news.
