Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

Even second-hand,the vibes are still strong.Farid Mohammadi
bought Robert Bly to Austin--Darrel Mayers and MUNDI supported..
It was the 90s when poetry had poignancy ,passion,power..
Even after his anti-war activism moved from Vietnam to Iraq.
What is more important-policies or personalities?
Robert Bly espoused and initiated a MEN's MOVEMENT
Men gathered,drummed,declaimed,cried,shared in circles in woods
Women saw this as separatist .It did not matter what he said-
waves of popularity rose and fell according to generational wisdom.
I was grateful to learn Rumi through his repeated readings.
Poetry may have fallen to computer codes,but Rumi lives..
With gratitude at Thanksgiving,i remember Robert Bly-and praise him..
