Beskrivning
In his richest and most varied collection of poems to date, Robert Bly mines lifelong fascination with poetic form. The poems in Talking into the Ear of a Donkey range from free verse to Bly’s uniquely American version of the famous ghazal form. In the title poem, Bly addresses the “donkey”—possibly poetry itself—which has carried him through a writing life of more than six decades:from "Talking into the Ear of a Donkey""What has happened to the spring,"I cry, "and our legs that were so joyfulIn the bobblings of April?" "Oh, never mindAbout all that," the donkeySays. "Just take hold of my mane, so youCan lift your lips closer to my hairy ears."

Recensioner i media
"The clear diction of Talking into the Ear of a Donkey makes accessible its transcendental themes, including the wisdom of the animal world and the spiritual connection between humankind and nature. . . . [Bly’s] poems, while spiritual, celebrate the worldly delights: shining fish, giant moose and bird song."
