The poetry he chose supplied qualities that were lacking from the literary culture of this country. For the first time Robert Blys brilliant translations  from several languages and spanning twenty-two poets  have been brought together in one book. At a time when editors and readers knew only Eliot and Pound  Robert Bly introduced the earthy wildness of Pablo Neruda and Cesar Vallejo and the sober grief of Trakl  as well as the elegance of Jimnez and Transtrmer. He also published high-spirited versions of Kabir and Rumi  and Mirabai  which had considerable influence on the wide culture of the 1970s and 1980s. Blys clear translations of Rilke attracted many new readers to the poet  and his versions of Machado have become models of silence and depth. He continues to bring fresh and amazing poets into English  most recently Rolf Jacobsen  Miguel Hernandez  Francis Ponge  and the ninteenth-century Indian poet Ghalib. As Kenneth Rexroth has said  Robert Bly is one of the leaders of a poetic revival which has returned American literature to the world community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985077923893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060575824","price":42.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060575823.jpg?v=1770845487","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-winged-energy-of-delight-selected-translations","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
