Robert Bly

The author of dozens of books of poetry and translation, Robert Bly’s work is based in the natural world, the visionary, and the realm of the irrational. As a poet, editor, and translator, he profoundly affected American verse, introducing many unknown European and South American poets to new readers. In addition to his poetic endeavors, he gained attention for his anti-war protest efforts, his theories on the roots of social problems, and his efforts to help men reclaim their healthy masculinity and channel it in a positive direction.
