	SALON: Daddy Knows Best
		As Bly perceptively observes, sibling rivalry leads to a compulsive desire to deface the very idols we hunger to believe in: "Every detail of a president's life is used to discredit him.
		Feminists vehemently nailed Bly for blaming them for the crisis in masculinity described in "Iron John." This time out, he takes pains to cover his hindquarters from similar attacks by noting that girls as well as boys face the daunting path to adulthood with virtually no guidance and plenty of encouragement to remain immature.
		Bly prescribes a renewed respect for authority, and by presuming to diagnose our illness, seems to be presenting himself a worthy avatar.

	A Literary History of the American West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Bly often moves through this landscape in the "small world of the car" whose "solitude covered with iron" provides him with the privacy that is inherent in the landscape he describes.
		Bly's intention in his prose poems is to restore dignity to objects–not to exploit them as symbols–and to draw our attention to their hidden will; it is also to celebrate the body and its myriad transformations.
		Bly, of course, favors the latter, and Harris labels it "incorporative consciousness" and studies its ability to encompass inner and outer reality and to integrate the self and its relationship with others and nature as an organic whole.

	Leaping Into the Unknown
		Bly's political poems attempt to turn the reader's gaze inward to the dark recesses of America's "national psyche." The image is used to probe the unconscious of the reader in a confrontational manner by exposing the dark side of American culture, both domestic and abroad.
		Bly here is not speaking through symbols, but attempting to evoke an imaginative and emotional response from the reader through the interplay and resonance of vivid images of the natural world, as he has done throughout his literary career.
		Bly first turns our attention outward to the sea and the cosmos, then focuses it intensely on "the toe of the shoe pivot[ing] / in the dust," the instant in which "the man in the fl coat turns" and the act of climbing the hill is left incomplete.

	Untitled
		Robert Bly: I would say that what society asks of men is that they throw themselves out of their bodies, into the outer world and into work, into farming a field or working for a corporation.
		I think the thing that Robert Bly and I are trying to communicate is that this kind of behavior would be drastically reduced if we could help men to get in touch with their depths, in touch with their hearts.
		Robert and I have tried to talk about that from the masculine side, and I think that she is talking about this undomesticated, wonderful, radiant being that comes through the feminine soul.
