"You do not make a youngster into a man simply by feeding him a certain kind of food," says Bly, as he represents the three necessary and sequential life phases symbolized by three colors - the "red, white and dark-colored," in the Grimm Brothers' story book "Iron John." He casts a penetrating light on these male life periods, describing difficulties that arise, for example, when a youngster skips the red and will go directly to the white. He also talks about how these periods, when fulfilled, have an effect on men's associations with women. Poet, translator and professor, Bly is the author of many books including Light Round the Body (Harper & Row 1967), Adoring a female In Two Worlds (Dial 1985), Man In the Black Coat Converts (Harper & Row 1982), The Winged Energy of Joy: Selected Translations (Harper Perenniel 2005), My Word Was one thousand Years of Pleasure: Poems (Harper Perennial 2006). He's also author of Iron John (Addison-Wesley 1990) and The Sibling Culture (Addison-Wesley 1996).
