Bly, Robert, author.

This tree will be here for a thousand years / Robert Bly.

First edition.

New York : Harper & Row, [1979]

©1979

64 pages ; 21 cm

In this 1979 collection, Bly revisits the western Minnesota terrain and plainspoken style of his first collection, Silence in the Snowy Fields. While in many ways a sequel to Snowy Fields, the poems here reflect a deepened awareness of Sufism and Jung that relates them spiritually and psychologically to Camphor and Gopherwood and Black Coat. --http:/www.robertbly.com/b_poet​r​y​.​h​t​m​l​.
