The astonishing collection of the translationsRobert Bly has been producing for more than fifty years, introducing foreign poets to American readers for the first time.Robert Bly has always been amazingly prescient in his choice of poets to translate. The poetry he selected supplied qualities that seemed lacking from the literary culture of this country. At a time when editors and readers knew only Eliot and Pound, Bly introduced Neruda, Vallejo, Trakl, Jiménez, Traströmer, and Rumi. His most recent translations include Rolf Jacobsen, Francis Ponge, and the nineteenth-century Indian poet Ghalib. Here, inThe Winged Energy of Delight, the poems of twenty-two renowned and lesser-known poets from around the world are brought together. As Kenneth Rexroth has said,Robert Bly is one of the leaders of a poetic revival that has returned American literature to the world community.

Robert Silverberg contributes a story set in one of his best-known settings, the giant world of Majipoor. The versatile Joyce Carol Oates provides a dark story about a mysterious force that invades and torments a family. Neil Gaiman meditates on the dark implications of the Chronicles of Narnia. Thomas Disch tells a tale about a Somali girl fighting vampires in Minnesota. Other writers include Orson Scott Card, Patricia McKillip, Gene Wolfe, Raymond Feist, and Elizabeth Hand.
