Reviews
No poet writes about music better than Bruce Bond, and there are not many who can, poem after poem, combine such lucidity with such lyrical intensity
(on Bond's previously published book, Blind Rain)
--Stephen DunnBruce Bond is one of generation's best poets.--Laura Kasischke
A moving tribute to the power of music and the sensual life of the mind.--Dorianne Laux
The world's first drum was nothing we would call / a drum/ Nothing, that is, until we heard it, writes Bruce Bond, a poet whose work I have read and loved for many years. There is music, in Bond's poems, that is like no one else's. It is both beautifully traditional, and yet innovative, because it responds to the metaphysics of his moment, to the heart of our day. Bruce Bond is a brilliant and true poet, I am glad for every new reader of his works.
----Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic
