From Publishers Weekly

Bly redefines masculinity in a groundbreaking book that went to
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

Bly, a major American poet who won a National Book Award in 1968, appears regularly at workshops for men. The book's title refers to a mentor-like figure in a Grimms fairy tale who serves as Wild Man, initiator, and source of divine energy for a young man. This marvelous folktale of resonant, many-layered meanings is an apt choice for demonstrating the need for men to learn from other men how to honor and reimagine the positive image of their masculinity. Bly has always responded to Blakean and Yeatsian intensities, preferring to travel the path lit by mythic road signs. His intent here is to restore a lost heritage of emotional connection and expose the paltriness of a provisional life. For many men capable of responding imaginatively to allegory and myth this will be an instructive and ultimately exculpating book. Others may regard it as an inscrutable attempt, intuitive at best, to find merit in male developmental anxieties. For all collections emphasizing family or gender studies.

5.0étoiles sur 5 You gotta buy it!, Sep 10 2005
Par Un client
This review is from: Iron John: A Book About Men (Paperback)
We are living in a society where men are criticized for being men. We, as men, just sit back and listen to what people say about us. We sometimes even let them walk over us. Reading this book is going to give you the power to say "STOP."
The author takes you through a journey and shows you how you can grow from your naivete and numbness into a person in touch with your masculinity. The wild man sleeping inside of us wakes up for good and helps us make peace with the dark and bright sides of our psyche.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A ground breaking work for the masculine psyche, Mai 1 2004
Par Ron Tussey (spokane, WA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ten years ago when I was first told about Iron John, I remember buying the book, scanning a few pages only to put it on the book shelf. I just didn't get it. Nearly 2 years later I picked it up and began reading. Now I couldn't put it down. I suppose my time had come and now everything Bly described was deeply felt.

I suspect some young readers-both male and female won't truly understand the gravity of what Robert Bly is saying. But as is the mark of a truly great work, the reader can go back again and again, gleaning a little more understanding with each reading.

Robert Bly has a firm grasp of Jungian psychology and uses metaphor throughout the book as large brush strokes on a blank canvas. I will go as far to say this is a "must read" for all men over 35. A "should read" for anyone wanting to better understand the male psyche, the events leading to the appearance of what Bly calls the "50s male" and the following retreat into the "soft male" of the 70s and 80s.
The alternitive the author describes can be then a man who has centered himself between these two polar opposites, needing not to act out old macho stereotypes nor carry the wounds of the feminine psyche. I suspect this is a man who has found his own way and a man that women can trust as well.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Lyrical and resonant...., Nov. 8 2003
Par Un client
I'd thought from the opening pages that this was going to be another trite and superficial book - after all, what would a poet, however existential, know about the holes of the soul. But soon after, the book became fascinating, even difficult to put down. There's certainly a strong strand of personal experience and prisms that color the narrative, but having said that it doesn't take anything away.
Definitely a book that can safely be called lyrical. A simple yet powerful writing style makes for a book that plays with your imagination.
