Fare thee well Robert Bly! Though Allen and Bly’s orbits intersected often over the decades, they were never that close. Still, they did manage to stay in touch over the years, and inevitably ended up on a panel or giving a reading together. Bly will no doubt be most remembered for his 1990 book, Iron John, a Jungian interpretation of the Brother’s Grimm tale, applying it to modern manhood dilemmas, and the modern ‘men’s movement.’ Bly, snapped here by Allen Ginsberg May 1992. #robertbly #ironjohn #poetrycommunity #pacifism #jungian #mythology #mensmovement https://www.instagram.com/p/CWl_TgGPtD3/?utm_medium=tumblr
