    <body><![CDATA[I'm not much for poetry, really, and I was often confused and frustrated by this book.  Berryman was by all accounts a vicious drunk and an entirely unlikable person, and these poems seem to reflect that; there's not much here to make you fall sunny in love with the text in front of you.  Still, the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/955320">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[John Berryman's sweeping anti-epic joins Eliot's &quot;The Wasteland&quot; and Tennyson's &quot;In Memoriam&quot; as one of the greatest poetic series ever crafted.  Berryman's influences are as panoramic as the scope of his avatar Henry's transgressions.
