Description
Iron John: A Book About Men In this thought-provoking work, poet and translator Robert Bly offers a new vision of what it means to be a man. Drawing on his own life and his work with men, Bly explores the devastating effects of remote fathers and the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. He draws on ancient stories and legends to remind us of ways of knowing long forgotten, images of deep and vigorous masculinity centered in feeling and protective of the young. Bly's vision is both down-to-earth and elevated, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories. He uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John" as a framework to guide men through eight stages of male growth, and in doing so, offers a powerful exploration of what it means to be a man in modern times. This book is a deeply learned and thought-provoking work that will continue to guide and inspire men and women for years to come.
