Acclaimed poet and translator Robert Bly here assembles a unique crosscultural anthology that illuminates the idea of a largerthanhuman consciousness operating in the universe. The books 150 poems come from around the world and many eras: from the ecstatic Sufi poet Rumi to contemporary voices like Kenneth Rexroth, Denise Levertov, Charles Simic, and Mary Oliver. Brilliant introductory essays trace our shifting attitudes toward the natural world, from the old position of dominating or denigrating nature, to the growing sympathy expressed by the Romantics and American poets like Whitman and Dickinson. Blys translations of Neruda, Rilke, and others, along with superb examples of nonWestern verse such as Eskimo and Zuni songs, complete this important, provocative anthology.
