Summary: 'This is Robert Bly's fifth major collection of poems; it extends still further his extraordinary ability to merge rich elements of imagination, spirituality, and eroticism into a poetry that is frequently breathtaking. These prose poems are centered on the body--they are earthy, vibrant, and exciting, celebrating the many mysteries of the flesh and its energies. Bly has immersed himself in early Sufi poetry, the animal life of the Midwest, Rilke, the new research on protozoa colonies, and ancient Oriental poetry; and all have had a subtle influence on his work, which becomes more and more visionary, more and more ecstatic.'
