He calls himself a midwife, a translator, an explorer, poet, teacher, motorcyclist, elder and listener... but there's a lot more to Dennis Patrick Slattery than that. For the past 28 years he was a professor in Mythological Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California, and his fields of interest are the mythopoetic imagination, depth and archetypal psychology, creativity, metaphor, theories of myth, and writing. Author of The Way of Myth, A Pilgrimage Beyond Belief and many more, when I tell you his library encompasses over 6500 books, well, you just know that this is going to be one helluva fascinating conversation.
