Synopsis
A fascinating & compelling commentary on being a male in today's world. Examines the classic male model of being & feeling; a combination of fierceness & tenderness long since sacrificed to the demands of the industrial revolution. Weaves his argument around the intriguing Grimm fairy story of Iron John (Hans) & links into mythology & symbolism galore. dw 1990, 268pp

Review
"This book needs to be read, I believe, not as a dry work of scholarship to be judged coolly by the mind, but as the work of a poet struggling to convey an emotional experience and lead us to what he has found within himself" (Guardian)
"Eclectic and unclassifiable. Iron John is a work whose mentors are the prophetic poets and crazies, William Blake and Walt Whitman " (Sydney Morning Herald)
"Important. timely. and powerful" (New York Times)
