"Many today know Henry David Thoreau only as the author of 'Civil Disobedience' and Walden, a man who left society to pursue a simple life in nature. In The Winged Life, distinguished poet and author Robert Bly presents hidden treasures in the writings of Thoreau, revealing him to be a fully developed literary artist and a complex, ever-evolving man. Bly here selects the most powerful of Thoreau's verse, as well as the passages from journals, essays, and travel books in which 'some of his greatest poetry lies secretly glowing:' Bly's incisive commentary sheds important new light on the intellectual and spiritual development of a major American literary figure" [from the back cover]
