"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.
Poetry, whether self-consciously or not, has always thrived on the paradox of the
distant in the immanent and the other in the self; as such, it is driven by both a
metaphysical hunger and a resistance to metaphysical certainty. Hidden resources of
being animate the language of the near, just as near things beckon from an elusive
and inarticulate distance. Bond revalidates the role of poetry and, more broadly,
of the poetic imagination as both models for and embodiments of a transfigurative
process, an imperfectly mimetic yet ontological engendering of consciousness at the
limits of a language that must--if cognizant of its psychological, ethical, and epistemological
summons--honor that which lies beyond it."--Page 4 of cover
