from "Talking into the Ear of a Donkey"
     "What has happened to the spring,"
     I cry, "and our legs that were so joyful
     In the bobblings of April?" "Oh, never mind
     About all that," the donkey
     Says. "Just take hold of my mane, so you
     Can lift your lips closer to my hairy ears."
âThe kind of volume anyone should read for the exquisite pleasure of encountering poetry completely under its creatorâs tremendous control.ââThe Rumpus
In his richest and most varied collection of poems to date, Robert Bly mines lifelong fascination with poetic form. The poems in Talking into the Ear of a Donkey range from free verse to Blyâs uniquely American version of the famous ghazal form. In the title poem, Bly addresses the âdonkeyââpossibly poetry itselfâwhich has carried him through a writing life of more than six decades:from "Talking into the Ear of a Donkey"
     "What has happened to the spring,"
     I cry, "and our legs that were so joyful
     In the bobblings of April?" "Oh, never mind
     About all that," the donkey
     Says. "Just take hold of my mane, so you
     Can lift your lips closer to my hairy ears."
