A Gathering of Men with Robert Bly
In this interview between Bill Moyers and poet Robert Bly, they explore
the confusion men feel about their roles in society and in their inner
lives. In retreats like A Gathering of Men, their sense of loss is met
with a sense of hope. Men learn from one another through sharing and
listening to the wisdom, writings, and poetry of men like Bly. A father
figure at these gatherings, Bly is an essayist, activist, and leader of
the mythopoetic men's movement: workshops, retreats, and rituals with
the intended purpose of connecting spiritually with a lost deep
masculine identity.
