Loving a Woman in Two Worlds

Many of the love poems in this later collection (1986) stay harmoniously in tune because the passion and shrewdness, the fascination and honesty of the feelings temper each other. These are poems of a mature and intense love that permeates everything, that joins the outer world to the inward one. They also bring Bly's previous explorations of female and male consciousness together to fund his understanding of the rare intimacy and fulfillment he has found. - Back cover.
