Iron John by Robert Bly
It is clear to men, Robert Bly writes, that the images of adult manhood given by popular culture are worn out. Drawing on psychology, anthropology, mythology, folklore and legend, "Iron John" searches for a new vision of what a man is or could be.
This book needs to be read, I believe, not as a dry work of scholarship to be judged coolly by the mind, but as the work of a poet struggling to convey an emotional experience and lead us to what he has found within himself * Guardian *
