This luminous work approaches cities, real and symbolic, as both metaphors for and embodiments of the social self, inescapably embedded in a contemporary world and yet removed, summoned by the same technical connectivity that conspires to pull us further apart, one from another. In the end, Bond's assured verse reveals how a sense of some communal whole inspires its share of indebtedness and awe in an individual's efforts to navigate the environments that enfold us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Bond\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of over twenty books, including \u003ci\u003eBlackout Starlight\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDear Reader\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFor the Lost Cathedral\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGold Bee\u003c\/i\u003e.
