Leaping Poetry by Robert Bly Book Review

Today we will be discussing how to "leap" as a poet. A book review/breakdown of Robert Bly's "Leaping Poetry" will help facilitate the discussion about how to leap from the conscious to the unconscious mind during poetry. Robert Bly is one of America's most influential poets. He is responsible for bringing Pablo Neruda (found a Swedish translation of his work in Sweeden), Cesar Vallejo, Antonio Machado, and others to Western poets. He also won the National Book Award for Poetry, revitalized the men's movement into a mythopoetic group (the best version, not the BS it is today), and is one of the greatest poetry critics in history! This video is for poets, poetry lovers, and those interested in the evolution of poetry!
