The brilliant Robert Bly
by zoss in lite-rat-ure, a/v, poésie
“When the cultural and intellectual history of our time is written, Robert Bly will be recognized as the catalyst for a sweeping cultural revolution,” according to the psychologist Robert Moore; and literary critic Charles Molesworth suggests that some of Bly’s importance and complication lies in the fact that he “writes religious meditations for a public that is no longer ostensibly religious.”
Listen to an interview with Bly on Minnesota Public Radio.
Listen to the reading given by Robert Bly at Unity Temple, in Oak Park, Illinois, on October 22, 2005.
Listen to Bly and Donald Hall on Literary Friendships, a program hosted by Garrison Keillor on American Public Media.

In one of his poems there’s a line that goes like:
your whole life is like some drunkard’s dream;
you haven’t combed your hair for a month.
Hah; No; What are you talking about?
