The Fucking Poet by John Bligh

Bligh urges men to rediscover their manhood by getting back to their wild nature. He believes that inside of every such male, there's a wild man yearning to get out a radiant inner king just waiting to confirm masculine pride and sureness of purpose. In traditional societies, boys worked along sidemen plowing fields and fashioning arrowheads, but the industrial revolution severed that connection. The title character in his bestseller is a wild hairy fellow who in a grim fairy tale is fished up from a pond and becomes a boy's mentor. That image is also the inspiration for his most extravagant exercise in manly self discovery, five-day wild man excursions.
