The author of Parallel Myths and Living Myths, J. F. Bierlein wrote the books that first started my interest in depth psychology when I was in middle school. J.F. teaches in the Washington Semester and World Capitals Program at American University in Washington, and also works for a social sciences consulting firm. Multilingual, he is deeply interested in theology, existentialism, art, opera, and the study of classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Hebrew, as well as other languages. 

Here we talk about myth, poetry and psychology. Check out J.F's website and poetry here:
