What do you get when you put two eight-hundred-pound gorillas—er, Minnesota literary lions—in the same room? Hey, we’re just joshing! Truth is, Robert Bly and Garrison Keillor were entirely at ease with each other when Bly appeared onstage, along with his buddy Donald Hall, at one of Keillor’s “Literary Friendships” events last year. Which, come to think of it, may be why Keillor is introducing his elder at this talk. Bly’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but if he’s yours, it would behoove you to show up here since the man’s been making fewer public appearances of late, and (not to be too blunt) he’s not getting any younger.
