Robert Bly

Born in 1926 in Madison, Minnesota, to a farming family, Bly went to
Harvard for his BA and received an MA from the University of Iowa.
He is one of the most renowned living American poets, and has edited
a number of collected works, mentored many young poets, and made
non-English poetry more widely available through his translations. He
was a leader in the anti-Vietnam war movement.
Since Iron John Bly has written other mainstream books, including
The Sibling Society, which argues that we now live in an "adolescent"
culture, and The Maiden King: The Reunion of Masculine and Feminine,
with self-help author Marion Woodman. His most recent work is
Eating the Honey of Words, a "best-of" collection of his poetry from
the last three decades with some new material. He lives in Minnesota.
