Poet Robert Bly speaks at ACA on Wednesday

Robert Bly, one of the most important and influential poets in America, will present his work at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts in Grand Marais on Wednesday, May 5 at 7:00 pm.

Bly is perhaps best known for his groundbreaking book, “Iron John: A Book about Men” (1990), which was on top of the New York Times best-seller list for ten weeks, and stayed on the list for more than a year.  As a poet, translator, and editor, Robert Bly is responsible for over a hundred books.  He won the National Book Award in 1967 for “The Light Around the Body.”

The reading is free and open to the public.  This project is a joint venture between The Grand Marais Public Library, WTIP Radio, and the Arrowhead Library System with funding provided in part with money from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
