FACING THE SHADOW - Audio Cassette Program
Bly, Robert
1993 41740 From AudioFile: A New Age evening with mystical poet Robert Bly, Jungian analyst Marion Woodman and a live audience of disciples offers Zen stories, exegesis, dialogue, Indian music and good vibes. The theme eludes the uninitiated but has something vaguely didactic to do with intimate relations between men and women. The hosts establish an instant rapport with their audience, punctuating their solo and duo star turns with touches of puckish joshing. Disciples will savor every holy moment of communion with these priests of the infinite. Skeptics will find them fatuous, muddy-thinking and infuriatingly smug.

IRON JOHN: A BOOK ABOUT MEN
Bly, Robert
1990 176932 Today's sensitized male may be in touch with his "feminine" side, but, writes poet Bly, this "soft male" possesses little vitality and is hobbled by grief and anguish. To achieve real masculinity, Bly argues, men must cultivate a fierce tenderness to be found neither in the macho/John Wayne model nor in the "interior feminine." Taking as his starting point the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John," the author sets forth an eight-stage initiatory path whose steps include remembering one's psychic wounds, communion with a mentor or "inner King," becoming a lover, reviving one's inner warriors and receiving a "second heart." Bly avoids cant as he ransacks Jung, Freud and Reich; referents include Greek, Egyptian and Celtic myths, the Parsifal legend, Blake and Amerindian ritual. A wise and healing book full of fresh insights, Bly's odyssey will help men grapple with identity, fatherhood, relationships and such crises as addiction and divorce.

THE MAIDEN KING - THE REUNION OF THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE
Bly, Robert
1998 999789 The author of Iron John, together with an eminent psychotherapist, reunite the Masculine and the Feminine. Robert Bly and Marion Woodman interpret the deep psychological insights imbedded in ancient stories, in this instance a Russian folktale about bringing feminine energy back into the world. The Maiden King tells of an absent father, a possessive stepmother, a false tutor, and a young man overwhelmed by a beautiful maiden and her thirty sisters, sailing toward him on thirty boats. His weak response ss her retreating in anger, and to find her once again he must go on a quest that leads to Baba Yaga, the fierce old woman of Russian folk tradition who represents not life in service of death, but death in service of life. The male tency to go to sleep in the face of feminine magnificence, female fear of power and of abandonment that leads to rage, the need to get beyond oppositional thinking en route to the Divine--these are issues the book addresses with wisdom and lyrical beauty. The true heir to Iron John, Bly's number-one national best-seller about men, The Maiden King speaks eloquently to readers of Clarissa Pinkola Estes, James Hillman, and Deborah Tannen.THIS IS AN UNCORRECTED PROOF COPY - SOFTCOVER.

THE SIBLING SOCIETY
Bly, Robert W.
1996 15000373 Poet and storyteller Robert Bly takes the baby boomers to task in this highly charged exposure of midlifers' values. Having become jaded by the abuses of authority, the boomers of North America have torn down the traditional hierarchy within their families and within their communities. What's left is a "cultural flatness," says Bly, where adults cling to self-absorbed adolescent values, television talk shows have more clout than elders, children are spiritually abandoned to fend for themselves, and in the place of community we have built shopping malls. As always, Bly relies on mythology, legends, and poetry to illustrate the morals of his stories. Ultimately this is a hopeful piece of work, nudging midlifers to take on the responsibilities (and therefore the rewards) of adulthood. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Product Description: The author of Iron John expands his mythic perspective to examine American culture at large, and finds us to be a nation of squabbling children. Through the psychological lessons embedded in ancient folktales in which children are thrown away and giants lurk, Bly challenges us to move beyond our own adolescent envy and fantasy and to take responsiblity for our children. Published at twenty five dollars. Perseus Books 0-201-40646-2 / 9780201406467
