Stealing Sugar from the Castle: the Selected Poems of Robert Bly:
In 2013 W. W. Norton is scheduled to publish Stealing Sugar from the Castle: the Selected Poems of Robert Bly. Selected from more than ten volumes of poetry from 1950 through 2005, and including Bly’s National Book Award-winning volume The Light Around the Body, Stealing Sugar from the Castle showcases the brilliant career of this American master, as he moves from the rich, earthy simplicity of Silence in the Snowy Fields (1962), through the wild, yet intricately formal ghazals of My Sentence Was a Thousand Years of Joy (2005). Watch this space for updates on events celebrating the publication of Stealing Sugar from the Castle.

The Insanity of Empire: A Book of Poems
Against th
e Iraq War.
In this 2004 release, Robert Bly collects some of his earlier poems and adds new poems that address the Iraq War and some of the ominous implications of that serious step taken by the Republican administration.
This collection also includes five new poems in the ghazal form, a form that contributed to the power of his book The Night Abraham Called to the Stars, published by HarperCollins in 2001. These poems include the now-famous poem "Call and Answer," which was one of the first poems written against the war, published in The Nation in August of 2002. Bly's new poems reach for that larger voice to which he has always been committed.
