Jim Vrabel to perform at Oberon

    May 12, 2012

This Wednesday night at Oberon, author Jim Vrabel will perform a staged reading of his one-man one-act play, “Homage to Henry: A Dramatization of John Berryman’s ‘The Dream Songs.’ ” Berryman’s sprawling, challenging, 387-poem masterpiece follows an imaginary character named Henry (whom Berryman was given to clarifying was “not the poet, not me”) through multiple stages of his life and through many lenses of identity. All proceeds will go to benefit the Grolier Poetry Book Shop in Harvard Square.
