'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. Recorded live in digital stereo at the Scottish Rite Temple in San Francisco, California on March 11, 1990. NOTE: Contains explicit language." Four audio cassettes, four hours.
