Abstract Selected from throughout Bly's monumental body of work from 1950 through the present, we see how he has long been the voice of transcendentalism and meditative mysticism for his generation. In poetry spiritual yet worldly, celebrating the uncanny beauty of the everyday, Bly is a poet moved by the mysteries of the world around him, speaking the language of images in a voice brilliant and bold.
Abstract From 1950 through the present, this collection of monumental work from the voice of transcendentalism and meditative mysticism for his generation celebrates the uncanny beauty of the everyday.
