| Résumé: | In his copy of Søren Kierkegaard's The Sickness Unto Death, John Berryman inserted a handwritten note entitled Sense of Guilt, which ends in an existential prayer: I tremble I am afraid Jesus, Son of God, help me. Twenty years later, Berryman published one of his most substantial collections of poetry: 77 Dream Songs. And though the Dream Songs were published long after Berryman left his anxious comments in The Sickness Unto Death, I argue that they enact a struggle with the Christian concepts of despair and the self as Berryman learned them from Kierkegaard. |
