Blackout Starlight: New And Selected Poems, 1997-2015

Blackout Starlight brings together a selection of poems from nine previously published books, along with a generous assortment of new work. At the heart of this collection are investigations of the role of eros, language, and creative life, and of the wonder and anxiety of their absence. In BondÆs telling, the lines between real and unreal, living and dead, blur together in the poetÆs imagination, casting an equally compassionate eye upon ôthe man we see writhing in the marbleö of an uncarved statue and the son at a funeral trying to face ôthe other half of life, the part / without my father in it.ö Taken together, the selections in this book represent the highlights of a dazzling career in poetry and leave the reader eager for many more years of BondÆs verses to come.
