Robert Bly's ground-breaking anthology of spiritual poems, the
result of over a decade of personal research, celebrates the
ongoing role of the divine in literature. For as long as people
have lived together in communities and built enduring cultures,
they have sung and written about their relationship with the God or
gods they believed in. In the words of the Irish writer Sean
O'Faolain, "all good writing in the end is the writer's argument
with God."
The Soul Is Here For Its Own Joy gathers poems from a wide range
of cultures and traditions and divides them into ten parts, each
forming a resonant exploration of a specific and timeless spiritual
question. Selections include the work of Dante, Dogen, Goethe,
Hafez, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Kabir, Lalla, Li Po, Mirabai, Mary
Oliver, Owl Woman, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Rumi, in addition to
Blake, Dickinson, Donne, Hopkins, Stevens, Yeats, and other
important English and American poets. Together these poems form
both a celebration and a quest--a kind of pilgrim's progress that
embraces all the rich wisdom of East and West, ancient and modern,
male and female, spirit and flesh.
