Book Description
The National Book Award–winning poet examines how the enduring narratives of fairy tales capture the essence of human nature. Fairy tales have remarkable power to touch the human spirit—and they are uniquely capable of retaining that power through time and across borders. Celebrated poet and bestselling author Robert Bly has spent decades investigating the origins and meanings of these deceptively simple stories. In More Than True, Bly looks at six tales that have long captivated him, from “The Six Swans” to “The Frog Prince.” Drawing on his own creative vision, and the work of a range of thinkers from Kirkegaard and Yeats to Freud and Jung, Bly brings new meaning and illumination to these timeless tales. Along with illustrations of each story, the book features some of Bly’s unpublished poetry, which peppers his lyric prose and offers a look inside the mind of an American master of letters in the twilight of his singular career.
