Abstract
Robert Bly's concern with wholeness of self connects him with the phenomenology of Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Bly's search for wholeness begins with his experimentation with the object and prose poem. The search continues and intensifies with poems that express unification of subject and object. Bly also sees language as a further manifestation of the outer and inner bounds of self. His search appears to rest in a fullness of being as represented in the beauty and importance of human relationships.
