Robert Bly"s The Man in the Black Coat Turns: The Sense of Separation and Unity of the Poetic Self

&nbsp;&nbsp;The Man in the Black Coat Turns, Robert Bly&quot;s tenth book of poetry, is significant in Bly&quot;s poetic career in that it deals with modern man&quot;s dilemma of the sense of separation and unity. In this book, Bly reveals modern man&quot;s barren psychic state and suggests the necessity of restoring the sense of unity which is the basic principle of the feminine consciousness.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;This paper attempts to show that Bly asserts the necessity of the recovery of disjointed human relationships. Bly seems to suggest that his masculine consciousness should be reconciled with feminine consciousness which prompts him to form a relationship with other, like: his father, nature, souls of the dead, offspring, etc. Bly&quot;s attempt to maintain the traditional virtue of modesty and sacrifice should also be highly regarded since it can be the major source in recovering healthy human relationships.
