Cinder
Poems by Bruce Bond
“In this, his most intricately composed book, his most important
yet, Bruce Bond has achieved a sonorous grandeur.”-Bin Ramke
“With the luminous precision of music, Bruce Bond has crafted, in Cinder, a generous and urgent collection of poems, a work that celebrates the human condition and terrifies us with it in equal measure. The result is a book of poems weighted with dark vision, set loose. Bruce Bond is one of our generation's best poets, and this is his best book.”
-Laura Kasischke
