Poetry. "In his newest book Bruce Bond's soundings have grown glorious as well as ominous; blank gunfire may silence bird song, but still a heroic figure of such a world can `open her mouth and the trees inhale.' In this, his most intricately composed book, his most important yet, Bruce Bond has achieved a sonorous grandeur"-Bin Ramke. SPD also carries RADIOGRAPHY by Bruce Bond.
