## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT! Prose; Just ignore the Poetry
*by J***N on November 20, 2014*

This is a great little book that delves in an oddly poetic way about how humans relate with each other. Perfect for couples facing the usual difficulties doing that. The only drawback, and I'm not even taking one star off for that, is that this poet author insists upon including his inscrutable poetry that only makes his book more difficult to fathom. I've read the book about a half dozen times over the years, and each time I read it, its various meanings become more obvious. MUCH more obvious when I skip the obtuse poetry.It's about projections, only Bly usually doesn't call them that. His poetic prose makes plenty sense, and without the poetry, it could be a lot quicker read. But it's deep and to fully understand it, takes awhile. This last time I read it, I absorbed one paragraph at a time, and that was my most enjoyable reading of it ever, having finally learned to ignore the poems.We humans are devious in our inter-relating, and this book superbly explains how we do it, with a lot about why. It may be a little short of what we can do about it, but that becomes more and more obvious the deeper we get into it. With each new reading, I skip different chapters, too. And that seems to help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Book on the Human Shadow
*by D***B on June 21, 2011*

I've read a few books on the subject of the Human Shadow, and found this one to be possibly the most useful in understanding this necessarily murky topic.I've also read a number of Robert Bly's other books, Iron John, and a few books of his poetry and translations and I feel this "Little Book" may now be my favorite.The very subject is "shadowy" by nature. And what knowledge there is of it, is not widely spread, despite the fact that it effects each and every one of us, causing great upset in our personal relationships, and our family, social, and, political lives. A more widespread understanding of this dynamic would be very helpful in addressing the problems we are now facing, and may, in fact, be necessary.This book is valuable resource in reaching that understanding.I hope this doesn't make the book sound dry or academic. It most definitely is not!Bly uses poetry and stories to illustrate and illuminate a "difficult" subject in a down to earth and intriguing way..A Little Book on the Human Shadow

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
