Love & fame
About this book
Revised 2nd edition of "Love & Fame," a collection of John Berryman's poems written shortly before his suicide. From The Saturday "Love & Fame" is a book of enormous emotional range. Adolescent lusts and embarrassments, suicidal impulses, prides that lead to fears, important hatreds, love, friendship, madness, reassessments and confusions, terrifying self-examination- you can find them here. This is a book that takes the reader from the minuscule personal detail to confrontations with the unknowable."
