[THE KID]

I found a dollar book at Goodwill called The Sibling Society by Robert Bly Author of Iron John. An outstanding and scholarly read. He writes and illustrates parables and metaphors BUT explains them for the average reader and non-scholar like me.

Chapter 4 is most interesting.

Robert Bly, American Poet


At this web site, readers will find information on every facet of Robert Bly's literary career, including bibliographies, reviews, and interviews, as well as new essays, poems, and translations, to increase their understanding and enjoyment of Bly's work.

In his numerous roles as groundbreaking poet, editor, translator, storyteller, and father of what he has called "the expressive men's movement," Bly remains one of the most hotly debated American artists of the past half century. What is it about Bly and his ideas that inspires such impassioned responses from readers and associates? The psychologist Robert Moore believes that "When the cultural and intellectual history of our time is written, Robert Bly will be recognized as the catalyst for a sweeping cultural revolution." 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."

This will disappear with little note. RAM
