Robert Bly
 
 About the Author

Robert Bly was born in Minnesota in 1926. He enlisted in the Navy in World War  II, then spent a year at St. Olaf College in Minnesota and transferred to Harvard, from which he was graduated in 1950. After several years in New York and one year in Norway, he returned to Minnesota. He lives on a farm in the western part of the state with his wife and three children.

He does not farm his land and by choice has stayed away from teaching, believing that a poet is best off outside the university. He earns his living by translating Scandinavian fiction, by writing and by poetry readings in college campuses and public halls around the country. In his magazine The Sixties--begun as The Fifties--Mr. Bly has introduced relatively unknown European and South American poets to the United States; and The Sixties Press publishes some of their work in book form.

In 1966, with David Ray, he founded the American Writers Against the Vietnam War, and has been active in arranging and participating in poetry readings against the war throughout the country.

Mr. Bly's first book of poems, Silence in the Snowy Fields, was published in 1962. His work has appeared in many magazines, among them Poetry, The Nation, Book Week, The Paris Review and Choice. Bill Moyers referred him as perhaps the most important living American poet. 

His writing about role models and the appropriate modes of feeling and behavior in contemporary society have made him popular with men's groups. Using poetry, song, fairy tales, mythology and psychology, as well as his own life experiences, poet Robert Bly leads groups men into understanding deep feelings within themselves.

  • Eating the Honey of Words: New and Selected Poems (paper)
  • Iron John: A Book about Men (paper)
  • Leaping Poetry (paper)
  • Little Book on the Human Shadow (paper)
