In 1958, a powerful new voice in American poetry emerged from the windswept prairie farmland of western Minnesota. Beginning with publication of The Fifties, “a magazine of poetry, translation and general opinion,” Robert Bly’s transformative poetry, translations, essays, and poetry readings rolled across the country like an invigorating prairie storm. In his eighty-third year, to celebrate acquisition of his archives, the Elmer L. Andersen Library at the University of Minnesota sponsored a major conference, Robert Bly in This World. This is the record of that historic event. Scholars and authors from America and England presented papers on Bly’s poetry, translations, criticism, mythopoetic storytelling, and other major achievements, including his annual Great Mother and Minnesota Men’s conferences. A trip to Madison, Minnesota, where Bly’s writing studio has been restored and preserved on the Lac Qui Parle County fairgrounds, is also chronicled here, plus intimate appreciations by Bly’s friends and admirers Coleman Barks, Donald Hall, Jane Hirshfield, Lewis Hyde, and others. A vintage documentary on Bly, A Man Writes to a Part of Himself, screened at the conference, is included as a DVD in a supplement to the book. In Robert Bly’s long career as a poet and translator, he has authored more than forty volumes. His pioneering prose explorations of ancient stories include the international bestseller Iron John. His latest collection of poems, Talking into the Ear of a Donkey, was released in 2011.

Windy Day at Kabekona samples four decades of Thomas R. Smith's devotion to the prose poem. Inspired in the late 1970s by the visionary prose poetry of Rimbaud and Baudelaire, as well as American originators such as Robert Bly and Louis Jenkins, Smith has made the prose poem his own from his early surrealist-flavored efforts to later approaches emphasizing landscape and acutely-drawn character portraits. Behind all his varied practice, Smith writes that he has felt “the salutory, restless pressure” of his models, pushing him to meet the high bar set by their example. Windy Day at Kabekona showcases as never before the forty-year arc of his exploration of the enlivening possibilities of the contemporary prose poem.

The Garden Entrusted to Me collects Robert Bly’s essential writings on his life and practice of poetry, revealing his approach to technique and the experiences that formed him as a poet.Robert Bly’s essays on the craft of poetry and the writing life—some previously unpublished—are gathered in one volume for the first. Three autobiographical essays highlight Bly’s origins on the family farm in western Minnesota and his early exposure to poetry as a high school student. Others broadly outline Bly’s approach to the vocation and discipline of poetry. At the center of this collection are a half-dozen pieces that focus on approaches to form and sound in poetry, revealing the originality of Bly’s method and process. The book concludes with the major Paris Review interview summarizing biographical, artistic and philosophical themes of Bly’s life and work as they have appeared throughout this volume, while opening new avenues for further exploration; in that way it mirrors the continual unfolding of Bly’s thought and creativity.
