Thus begins a day of passionate, provocative and humorous dialogue with poet Robert Bly, psychologist-author James Hillman and mythologist Michael Meade. 'The Firebird' - a Russian fairy tale about power, love and danger; poems from D. H. Lawrence and W. B. Yeats to thirteenth century poet Rumi; Stories and mythology from African tribal lore to Shakespeare - these and other sources are drawn upon by Bly, Hillman and Meade as they explore issues crucial to men today. Topics include: the hunger for the father; the difference between need, want and desire; the importance of male initiation.
