"Morning Poems is a sensational collection — Robert Bly's best in many years. Inspired by the example of William Stafford, Bly decided to embark on the project of writing a daily poem: Every morning he would stay in bed until he had completed the day's work. These 'little adventures/In Morning longing,' as he calls them, address classic poetic subjects (childhood, the seasons, death and heaven) in a way that capitalizes fully on the pun in the book's title. These are morning poems, full of the delight and mystery of waking in a new day, and they also do their share of mourning, elegizing the deceases and capturing the 'moment of sorror before creation.' Some of the poems are dialogues where unconventional speakers include mice, maple trees, bundles of grain, the body, the 'oldest mind' and the soul. A particularly moving sequence involves Bly's imaginative transactions with a great and unlikely precursor, Wallace Stevens. The whole is a fascinating and original book from one of our most fascinating authors."

Amazon.com Review
Robert Bly's Morning Poems is a window into the life of the mind, the poetic process, and the beautifully and poignantly prosaic way our lives pass as a series of (mostly) ordinary days. The poems are soft-spoken and unassuming, each written as a component of Bly's morning ritual. "A Week of Poems at Bennington," for example, includes meditations on such lofty subjects as "The Dog's Ears" and "What the Buttocks Think." At the same time, the poems often address weighty matters: aging, friendship, and death. It is one of Bly's poetic virtues that he is able to write about such subjects (following the example of William Stafford) with a delicate and unpretentious touch. Consider the homespun phrasing and deeply felt acceptance of life's twists and turns in "The Resemblance Between Your Life and a Dog": I never intended to have this life, believe me-- / it just happened. You know how dogs turn up / At a farm, and they wag but can't explain. / It's good if you can accept your life..."
From Library Journal
Aware that poetry can appeal to the child in us, poet (Meditations on the Insatiable Soul, LJ 10/15/94), social critic (The Sibling Society, LJ 7/96), and men's advocate (Iron John, LJ 4/1/92) Bly adopts the homely diction and personification of children's fiction to create a storybook world filled with wry humor and quirky, surreal leaps. Mice converse, oceans complain, and less-than-sage observations are delivered with a deadpan naivete: "Getting killed/ Happens during a war a lot to horses and people." Even titles?"Bad People," "Things To Think"?seem lifted from a first-grade primer. But behind the affected innocence lies a desire to subvert expectations by playing style against substance to spotlight and praise the role of surprise in our lives ("We bend our ankle and end up reading Gibbon"). Cloaked in the simplicity of folktales told around a campfire, Bly's allegories of aging, death, and loss forfeit their intrinsic terrors to the larger, absorptive patterns of myth. It's a risky strategy, one open to charges of coyness and condescension toward the reader; but when it works, the results are entertaining, poignant, and?like each new day?unpredictable.?Fred Muratori, Cornell Univ. Lib., Ithaca, N.Y.

Reading in a Boat
By BookNerdSeattle
Robert Bly was in Seattle as part of Seattle Arts & Lectures' 2006 Poetry Series. I decided it was time to read a book of his poems. I chose Bly's 1997 book Morning Poems because of the poem "Reading in a Boat". The book is broken up into six sections; each very different in style. And yet the poems as a whole focus on specific topics: growing old, death, and reflections of the years gone by.
Section IV, my favorite section, has eight poems in which Bly discusses his love of writing poetry and his joy of finding just the right word to use, "To nudge a poem along toward its beauty."
I wasn't really inspired by the other sections of Morning Poems. Many of the poems were too simplistic for my taste, such as the final poem in which he talks to a mouse about sleeping positions. Others relied too heavily on religious references such as "Making Smoke," which is basically a modern version of Jonah and the whale.
Still, there are enough beautiful lines in this collection that make it worth reading; "The joy of being alone, eating the honey of words."

One could do worse than be stolen by Wallace Stevens
By Douglas Bass
I read this book because it was a book of Robert Bly poetry in my local library that I hadn't read yet. While there is plenty of the kindness, generosity and magnanimity for which Robert Bly is known (for example, the poem about the necessity of bad people, and the poem about the consequences of the minister running off with the choir director), there just doesn't seem to be a target in this book of poems in the same way there is in other Bly books I have read.
There are two poems in this volume which talk about us being stolen by someone or something. While Robert Bly doesn't come out and say it, part of this book is about him being stolen by the mid-20th Century poet Wallace Stevens. I'm glad Robert Bly didn't hide his love.
So you may read this book and say "That was nice, but what was the point?" If you think there has to be a point, you will be disappointed by this volume. If you enjoy eating the honey of words, this will be a tasty midmorning helping.
