“One day while studying a [William Butler] Yeats poem I decided to write poetry the rest of my life.
I recognized that a single short poem has room for history, music, psychology, religious thought, mood,
occult speculation, character, and events of one’s own life.”
– Robert Bly, born in Madison, Minnesota (1926).
Thanks for sending me this juicy quote Roz! 🙂

Bravo! Right now Robert Bly is being filmed in my house by Haydn Reiss.
Soon they will be offered some of your lasagna. Tomorrow night Robert will read for KPFA at The Hillside Club.
