A feature on the life and work of the American poet John Berryman compiled byMICHAEL BUTT
He was capable of the heights of poetic exaltation and of the depths of self-degrading alcoholic stupor. He achieved fame as a poet, great distinction as a university lecturer, but his spirit was restless, his self-awareness painful. On 7 January 1972, aged 57,
John Berryman walked to the Washington Avenue Bridge - high over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis -jumped up on the railing and fell to his death. With ANDREW BRANCH, SUSIE BRANN DEBORAH MAKEPEACE , DIANA OLSSON and PHILLIP O’SULLIVAN
Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS Stereo (R)

With

US Assistant Secretary of State: Vladimir Petrovskiy , Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister;
Mohamed Sahnoun , Algerian Ambassador to the US;
