{"product_id":"9781931082693","title":"John Berryman: Selected Poems","description":"\"Staggering, swaggering, intoxicating\": John Berryman achieved a poetry  where (in the words of editor Kevin Young) \"Protagonists search for a lover  or friend, ancestor or listener, with a recklessness that only Whitman  allowed himself. . . . Berryman becomes Everyman attempting, falling short  of, and often achieving greatness.\" Young's selection, the first new  selection of Berryman's poems in over 30 years, encompasses the formal  accomplishments of his early work, epitomized in the masterful Homage to  Mistress Bradstreet, the explosive and mesmerizing diction of Dream Songs,  and his wrenching religious poems. Kevin Young's poetry and essays have  appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, Paris Review,  and elsewhere, and have been featured on NPR's \"All Things Considered.\"  ","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060950876400,"sku":"9781931082693","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781931082693_p0.jpg?v=1763637850","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781931082693","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
