Choir of the WellsPaperback, 21 May 2013

Choir of the Wells is a tetralogy of new books that cohere as an exploration of the mind-body enigma.

Light, we know, is an invisible thing.
The beam that falls through the theaters
of a childhood-- we trust it's there

thanks only to the dust that floats inside it,
and the screen, of course, the stuff that takes
the dark of light and makes of it a story.

Bruce Bond is the author of eight previous books of poetry. He is Regents Professor of English at the University of North Texas and poetry editor for American Literary Review.
