The Poet Of Minnesota, Vietnam And Mythical Men
Robert Bly is probably best known for his controversial nonfiction book Iron John. But as a poet, he's conjured deeply resonant imagery of nature and war for 60 years, as his Collected Poems reveal.
For more than 60 years, poet Robert Bly has written about nature, mysticism and political protest. His two dozen collections have garnered many prizes, including a National Book Award.
Now all of Bly's poetry has been reissued in a single volume – his Collected Poems.
Like many mid-century American poets, Robert Bly started out writing rhymed verse in iambic pentameter — five rhythmic beats to the line — in the centuries-old Western tradition.
Bly will turn 92 this month, and doesn't do interviews
