Midwestern "Colors" Nov 10, 2001
By Rebecca Craven
"Colors" is a more than appropriate title for this vivid collection of poetry. With each poem, Bond brings scenes from his life alive to the reader. We are able to observe this otherwise ordinary world through the eyes of a man who appreciates all the colorful and wonderful aspects of life. Whereas other writers might choose to not write about difficult, upsetting issues, Bond uses subtle humor at points to help us understand that each of us has the ability to control our own lives, not the other way around. The complexity of his words cannot be adequately expressed by this review. Everyone should read "Colors" to experience Bond's uncommon perspective.
In touch with the soul of the heartland. Dec 04, 2001
David Bond writes in a voice that speaks of the heartland. His content varies from gritty coal mining to sensuous romance without losing the trust of the reader. After reading this collection of poems, you can't help but look at the everyday men and women around you and wonder about the poetry in their everyday lives. David Bond has a gift of making the ordinary extraordinary.
Colors Nov 14, 2001
By Marsha Wood
In Colors, Bond brings the reader into his private world of exploration, wonder, loss, death, love, and tragedy. Along the way, the reader learns a little about Southern Illinois and rural life, and a lot about what makes the author tick. Bond takes a fresh look at old ideas and his ability to make the text come alive should not be missed. This is a very nice read for those wishing to explore a new and upcoming author that we will surely be hearing more from.
Colors Oct 29, 2001
By Anna Vani
I was really moved by this book of eloquent poetry, in particular by the poem entitled "Late 60's: I Bring My College Roomate to Church." I think this poem gives a look back in history to the views of racial seperation. Although this poem is written about the 60's it is very similar to what still goes on today. I think this poem and many others in Colors are a great resource to use in teaching History and other courses and plan on using them in my classroom! This is an excellent book to pick up for enjoyment or as a tool for teaching!
A Must Read For Anyone With A Love Of Poetry! Oct 24, 2001
By Marsha Wood
I found David's book to be both entertaining and inspiring. I find it to be entertaining to anyone who likes poetry, or even for those you don't read poetry very often, because it is very accessible to even those less avid poetry fans. It is not one of those books where you feel that you need a dictionary just to understand what he is talking about. It was inspiring to me because I know that the author is just like the rest of us. He holds an eight to five job, but he writes poetry on the side often enough to have it published in his own book. I do not know about anyone else, but I find this to be very impressive. In short, I feel that this is a great book and definately one that should be added to your personal collection.
