ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John Berryman

John Berryman nasceu em 1914, no Oklahoma, EUA. Ao longo da vida, passou por várias instituições da Ivy League e pela Universidade de Cambridge, primeiro enquanto estudante e depois durante a sua carreira como professor e investigador. Autor maior da literatura norte-americana da segunda metade do século XX e figura-chave da corrente confessional da poesia, Berryman foi galardoado com o Prémio Pulitzer por 77 Oníricas (1965) e com o National Book Award por His Toy, His Dream, His Rest (1969). A sua obra poética – que, tal como a vida do poeta, foi profundamente marcada pelo suicídio do pai, quando Berryman tinha 11 anos – compreende livros como The Dispossessed (1948), Homage to Mistress Bradstreet (1956) e Henry’s Fate & Other Poems, 1967-1972 (1977), entre outros. John Berryman suicidou-se em 1972.
