Kurzbeschreibung

Robert Bly's ground-breaking anthology of spiritual poems, the result of over a decade of personal research, celebrates the ongoing role of the divine in literature. For as long as people have lived together in communities and built enduring cultures, they have sung and written about their relationship with the God or gods they believed in. In the words of the Irish writer Sean O'Faolain, "all good writing in the end is the writer's argument with God."

The Soul Is Here For Its Own Joy gathers poems from a wide range of cultures and traditions and divides them into ten parts, each forming a resonant exploration of a specific and timeless spiritual question. Selections include the work of Dante, Dogen, Goethe, Hafez, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Kabir, Lalla, Li Po, Mirabai, Mary Oliver, Owl Woman, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Rumi, in addition to Blake, Dickinson, Donne, Hopkins, Stevens, Yeats, and other important English and American poets. Together these poems form both a celebration and a quest--a kind of pilgrim's progress that embraces all the rich wisdom of East and West, ancient and modern, male and female, spirit and flesh.

5.0 von 5 Sternen A delight! Wonderful, readable spiritual poetry., 12. Juni 1996
Von Ein Kunde
Robert Bly has a wonderful knack for finding the best of the most approachable, readable poetry available. If you've never followed his work, I invite you to pick up any of his anthologies for starters: News of the Universe is a good one, also try The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart (it's subtitled "Poems for Men" but it's not really for men only, he features probably more women poets in there than many other anthologies). He continues his winning streak with this book.

I've read or heard Bly recite poems by many of the authors featured in this book. If you are a Bly fan, it's standard fare: Rilke, Kabir, Rumi, Dickinson, Stevens, Machado. It's nice to have it combined in one book- a compact, travel edition, if you will. Plus there are poems from Mirabai that have not been included in any of his books (although there's a small pocket book of her poems that's sadly out of print). There is a whole section entitled God in the Feminine, welcome and refreshing for men and I think very valuable for women seeking her spiritual path, surrounded as we are by masculine images of God.

The book is divided into 10 sections, by theme. Some of the titles are Starting on the Path, Dying to this World, and The Spirit- Who is a Guest of the Soul- Will Never be at Home on this Earth. Preceding each section Bly gives a little introduction that sets the theme for each. I love his interpretation and gentle guiding. He opened my eyes years ago to reading poetry and looking at the images in a broader way. Bly has received some criticism for his translations, as actually some of his work involves taking the English of other translators and giving it more vernacular language. While I understand and appreciate precision, I would also rather read a Bly translation of, say, Rilke's The Panther. I've seen the original and understand a little German, and to me Bly's ideas about keeping the emotional tenor alive make the poems so much more delightful to read, and his translations lose nothing.

So the poems are arranged in sections by topic and with a sense toward their emotional tenor. This is Bly's greatest strength, I think, and combined with his intelligence and broad interests he has used his senses to put together a wonderful, inspirational book.

For another excellent book in a similar vein, check out The Essential Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks. Includes a couple of recipies (I have yet to try them out). Also The Kabir Book, by Robert Bly. The spiritual poems of Kabir, Rumi, and Mirabai are still new to this culture, and very beautiful and delightful. It's nice to see them in the anthology alongside Western poems- especially alongside Western poems. Who knows? Maybe they will change your life. -Mike
