The Man in the Black Coat Still Turns...,
By Michael P. Naughton "Author of Deathryde: Reb... (Beverly Hills, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Man in the Black Coat Turns (Paperback)
Why this boook does not have any reviews on Amazon addles me, so I guess I will be the first. According to Robert Bly's website:"This 1981 collection, with its mythological resonance and intricate stanza forms, was one of Bly's most revolutionary in its time. "Black Coat" is the point where Bly's poetry meets his fascination with the male psyche, laying the poetry foundation for his subsequent work with men and his prose work, Iron John." The poetic themes and prose range from father and son relations to loss and longing. In the poem "Eleven O'clock at Night" Bly writes: Now more and more I long for what I cannot escape from/The sun shines on the side of the house across the street/Eternity is near, but it is not here. I personally enjoyed Iron John years ago and found it to be a seminal work at the time and The Man in the Black Coat adumbrates Bly as the thoughtful poet. |
