John Berryman was an American poet and author, perhaps best known for books like 77 Dream Songs and The Dream Songs. He was born in Oklahoma, but grew up in Florida. His writing style incorporated a range of topics including belief systems and morality as well as his own personal struggles with mental health and depression. His poetic work gained attention after the publication of Homage to Mistress Bradstreet, and steadily grew into an extensive body of art that has endured over time. John Berryman also wrote two books of essays, books of letters, books on philosophy, and books spanning a variety of topics with a focus on personal introspection - his lifelong quest to unravel some sense of order out of the chaotic universe.
