In this timeless and deeply learned classic, poet and translator
Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it means
to be a man.
Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men, as
well as on reflections on his own life. He addresses the
devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance
of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in
ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron
John",in which a mentor or "Wild Man" guides a young man through
eight stages of male growth,to remind us of ways of knowing long
forgotten, images of deep and vigorous masculinity centreed in
feeling and protective of the young.
At once down-to-earth and
elevated, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and
often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is an
astonishing work that will continue to guide and inspire men,and
women,for years to come.
