Sacrum
Distinctive in their lyric beauty, imaginative daring, distilled emotion, and ceaseless questioning, Bond's poems explore the mysteries of the flesh in terms both surreal and philosophical, scientific and metaphysical, personal and broadly cultural―the body as a region, not unlike the mind itself, haunted by a simultaneous distance and nearness, intimating some vast underworld for which we have no language.

"If you are what you eat, do you become
in turn what eats at you?"
"be one part miracle, another
blunder."
"Contentment is the art that wears its art
lightly."
