Dorianne, Bly is worshipped and recently made a cool million with his Iron John nonsense. But his "verse" is nonsense and his translations are worse. Look at Mandolin's much-appreciated posting of the original: hey, folks, it's rhymed, formal poetry! I have to agree with Professor Mezey that Free Verse Mastery is a non sequitur, and that most free verse isn't worth the powder to blow it to hell. 99% of the great free verse in our language is in the King James Bible.
