Robert B i. v
In this ground-breaking and extremely learned book. Robert Bly.
the National Book Award w inning poet and translator, oilers
nothing less than a new vision of what n is to be a man.
Bly \ vision is based on his ongoing work w ith men and
reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating etlefts ot
remote lathers and mourns the disappearance ot male initiation
rites in our culture binding rich meaning in ancient stories and
legends, Bly uses the (iiimm fairy tale "Iron John." in which a
mentor or "Wild Man" guides a young man through eight stages ot
male grow th, to remind us ot images long forgotten images id a
\lgorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally
centered
He does so m a language that is simultaneously
poetic and down to earth, combining the grandeur ot
myth with the piactical and often painful of our own
histones In Iron John he has created a rare work, that
will guide and inspire men and women lor years to
come.
