BERRYMAN's MOST recent book does not possess the unity necessary for comparision with a work of the magnitude of Dream Songs. At least one of the poems included in Delusions, Etc., "Scholars at the Orchid Pavilon," was begun over 20 years ago.

An organic interchange of energy and enlightenment flamed up with every sentence, accelerating until all strength was spent. The polar opposite of a Harvard lecture...
...skill and valiance; Follies celebrates women who have learned to sift the grain of truth from the chaff of illusion, and the paths to its box office windows are now only half-beaten. What better evidence that the theater cannot profess a maturity that its audiences do not possess...
