# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Robert Bly: A Thousand Years of Joy + Producers' Q&A at the Electric Palace
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 12:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Poetry on Screen is a new film morning focussing on poets, poetry and songwriting curated by Chris McKenna.
Poet Robert Bly stands out even among the celebrated, revolutionary generation of American artists who burst forth in the 1950s. A Thousand Years of Joy charts Bly's singular path from farmers son on a Minnesota farm to radical anti-Vietnam War activist to wild man of the 1990s men's movement.

The bespectacled, white-haired Bly is every inch the politically and spiritually engaged mystic. He was one of the first to translate Pablo Neruda, Rumi and other ecstatic Sufi poets.

He is the bestselling author of pop culture phenomenon Iron John and was the leader of the men's movement. Bly's life embodies the quest for personal honesty and shared truth.

The film is followed by a producers' Q and A and supported by Band of Brothers who will co-host this screening with local men's groups in Hastings. The perfect appetiser for this year's Burns' Night celebrations and the first in our Poetry on Screen events working with local poets and writers groups in Hastings.
