  • Immanent Distance

    Poetry and the Metaphysics of the Near at Hand

    by Bruce Bond ...
    Series series Poets On Poetry
    In these essays, Bruce Bond interrogates the commonly accepted notion that all poetry since modernism tends toward one of two traditions: that of a more architectural sensibility with its resistance to metaphysics, and that of a latter-day Romantic sensibility, which finds its authority in a metaphysics authenticated by the individual imagination.

  • The Visible

    Poems

    by Bruce Bond ...
