A vibrant tribute by his friends and fellow poets to one of the most vital and influential writers in America today.

The more than fifty contributors to this celebration of Bly's sixty-fifth birthday reflect the powerful impact this important and controversial figure has had on contemporary audiences in his various capacities as poet, editor, translator, storyteller, and father of the men's movement.
