Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart: Poems for Men

Edited by Robert Bly, James Hillman, and Michael Meade

Like the Yeats poem from which the title is drawn, this poetry anthology is a monumental contribution to literature. It contains the favorite poems of poet-translator, Bly; psychologist, Hillman; and mythologist, Meade. These three passionate authors have taught together for over ten years in week-long intensive conferences, always including the world's greatest poetry as part of their teachings. At last they have compiled hundreds of breathtaking poems in this prodigious volume.

The poets featured range from ancient to contemporary, and are thematically arranged in sixteen sections. Each section begins with powerful prose introductions by the editors and contains insightful commentaries. This masterwork is a must-own for every private library.
