| IPTC INFO | | Caption | Bly a major American poet who won a National Book Award in 1968 appears regularly at workshops for men. The book's title refers to a mentor-like figure in a Grimms fairy tale who serves as Wild Man initiator and source of divine energy for a young man. This marvelous folktale of resonant many-layered meanings is an apt choice for demonstrating the need for men to learn from other men how to honor and reimagine the positive image of their masculinity ___________________________________________________________ since the book is obviously evoking massive projection and ad hominem attacks it really does have some incredibly important things to say. ********* rejoice in that "Wild Man" Archetype from whence we came. The hunter protector and leader. "Iron John" to be precise. ********** I suspect some young readers-both male and female won't truly understand the gravity of what Robert Bly is saying. But as is the mark of a truly great work the reader can go back again and again gleaning a little more understanding with each reading. Robert Bly has a firm grasp of Jungian psychology and uses metaphor throughout the book as large brush strokes on a blank canvas. I will go as far to say this is a "must read" for all men over 35. * Paperback: 268 pages * Publisher: Da Capo Press August 2004 * Language: English * ISBN: 0306813769 | | Headline | Iron John: A Book About Men | | URL | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0306813769/wwwcarnavalcom | | User | Guest |
