"The most recent in a line of great American transcendentalist
writers."--The New York Times "Bly's poems flow from ...the great
current of longing for reality, true maturity, the devotee's call
to the Beloved."--The Nation "Robert Bly changed the course of
poetry in America by opening it up to the imagination and the
deep-image aesthetic, he is dedicated to reintegrating poetry with
life--daily life, the life of the body, spiritual and political
life."--Huffington Post The Chinese-influenced strain of Bly's work
with its room for movement, spontaneity, and openness is celebrated
in Like the New Moon I Will Live My Life and most amply showcased
in its over one hundred and fifty poems. The poems, collected from
out-of-print books, chapbooks, and uncollected work spanning fifty
years, form a companion to his recent Stealing Sugar From The
Castle: New and Selected Poems. Like The New Moon I Will Live My
Life When your privacy is beginning over, How beautiful the things
are that you did not notice before! A few sweetclover plants Along
the road to Bellingham, Culvert ends poking out of driveways,
Wooden corncribs, slowly falling, What no one loves, no one rushes
towards or shouts about, What lives like the new moon, And the wind
Blowing against the rumps of grazing cows. Telephone wires
stretched across water, A drowning sailor standing at the foot of
his mother's bed, Grandfathers and grandsons sitting together.
Robert Bly is one of the most influencial poets, translators, and
editors of his generation.
