Later Years
Following her divorce from Robert Bly, Bly moved to Sturgeon Lake; in 1986, she bought a house in St. Paul MN. In 2003, Bly donated to the University of Minnesota her correspondence, notes from writing workshops and classes she taught, and drafts of her works. The eighty-nine boxes included papers written when she was just a child as well as her later years' work. Also in 2003 Bly and a friend, Cynthia Loveland, opened Bly and Loveland Press, a small publishing company which has so far published four books that they have written together. Their press also sold custom crossword puzzles, which Bly designed. She continued to work until the very end of her life, completing a novel, "Shelter Half," which was published posthumously in June, 2008 by Holy Cow! Press.

“After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave—a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of man, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.—And we—we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
