Robert Bly is an author and public figure, known chiefly for his award-winning poetry and his contribution to reviving contemporary interest in poetry. Born in Madison, Minnesota, and raised on the nearby family farm, he served in the United States Navy and afterward attended St. Olaf College and Harvard University, ultimately earning a master's degree from the University of Iowa. A Fulbright scholarship enabled him to spend time in Norway, where he was influenced by poets not well known in the United States, and he resolved to translate their work into English, founding the literary magazine The Fifties to publish his translations. As his reputation as a poet grew, he became increasingly active in social issues, and helped lead American Writers Against the Vietnam War. As a poet, editor, translator, and speaker, he has done much to renew interest in poetry. Bly's1990 book Iron John was an international bestseller, and inspired the Mythopoetic Men's Movement in the United States.
