Why Chosen
The poet Robert Bly's reflections on the human shadow—a source of tremendous power, creativity, nourishment, and also fear—and his suggestions for how to look for and reclaim it were life-changing for me. I hope other readers might stumble across this little book, as I did two decades ago, and find similar richness and wisdom in it.
