Watch A Man Writes to a Part of Himself: Robert Bly

A Man Writes to a Part of Himself features a choice selection of Robert Bly's poetry and translations, mixed with conversation and scenes from his family farm and northern Minnesota retreat. Bly talks about his boyhood, his wanderings in New York City, his first attempts to write poetry and his eventual growth into one of America's liveliest poets and essayists. Narrated by the late poet Thomas McGrath and created by Greg Pratt and Mike Hazard, the video explores male/female relationships, the Vietnam War and the importance of fairy tales. "...amusing, provocative, and moving... A Man Writes to a Part of Himself is the best thing of its kind I have ever seen." - Don Morrison, Minneapolis Star Tribune
