It's just too bad that Bly himself is so full of hyperbole and marketing rhetoric. Have you read his early editorial pieces? He's not the best defender for good writing. As readers we need to learn how to spot pseudo- journalism as well as pseudo-science. We need more mags like Seed; they would help us be more literate and more critical.
