What a superb collection! An anthology that can be read and re-read many times without feeling repetition. I feel sorry for anyone wanting to get a hold of it if and when it goes out of print.

from Beacon Press
Price: $13.50

Customer Review:
I found this collection very satisfying on several levels. First the translations are excellent, successfully capturing both concrete and abstract elements of both poets.

7.Soul Is Here For Its Own JoySoul Is Here For Its Own Joy
from Ecco
Price: $14.35

Customer Review:
Robert Bly considers many different aspects of spirituality from many different angles in the poetry collection. It's not a big shock that some poets whom Bly has translated are represented, such as Kabir, Mirabai, Antonio Machado and Tomas Transtromer. But there are many other poems with completely... more info

8.The Kabir Book: Fourty-Four of the Ecstatic Poems of KabirThe Kabir Book: Fourty-Four of the Ecstatic Poems of Kabir
from Beacon Press

Customer Review:
I've known and loved this book for years. A couple of the reviewers below really rake Bobby Bly over the coals for his translation -- unfairly, I think. First, Robert confesses right up front to the fact that he's not really translating, since he doesn't read or speak Kabir's language. Instead, he's... more info

from Graywolf Press
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I knew little of Transtromer's work and nothing about him. Bly's translations are the best way to enter Mr. T's world, I think. I now have other translations. In some cases, 2 others of a poem for comparison. I do not know Swedish at all, although I would like to look at it sometime--but none of the... more info

10.Silence in the Snowy Fields: Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Program)Silence in the Snowy Fields: Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Program)
from Wesleyan
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
This first book by Robert Bly is definitely a classic. It is certainly one of the best books in modern poetry--a landmark! Along with James Wright's The Branch Will Not Break, this book defined a generation of poets in the late 50's that decided poetry had become too dull and scholarly. These poems... more info
