Description
Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John, " in which the narrator, or "Wild Man, " guides a young man through eight stages of male growth, to remind us of archetypes long forgotten--images of vigorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally centered. Simultaneously poetic and down-to-earth, it combines the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories.
