In this interview between Bill Moyers and poet Robert Bly, they explore the confusion men feel about their roles in society and in their inner lives. In retreats like A Gathering of Men, their sense of loss is met with a sense of hope. Men learn from one another through sharing and listening to the wisdom, writings, and poetry of men like Bly. A father figure at these gatherings, Bly is an essayist, activist, and leader of the mythopoetic men's movement: workshops, retreats, and rituals with the intended purpose of connecting spiritually with a lost deep masculine identity.
