Synopsis
For the Lost Cathedral delves deeply into the human relationship with the divine and its capacity for empathy, transformation, and the tolerance of difference and doubt. Bruce Bond seeks neither to praise nor to attack institutional religions, instead choosing to explore their interactions with the inner lives of those who hold them sacred. Faith can offer comfort and security in difficult times, yet it may also create the temptation to hold to absolutes. For the Lost Cathedral examines the tensions inherent in spiritual devotion as well as the impact of such devotion on our most defining conflicts, creativities, and acts of sacrifice.
In poems whose formal simplicity belies the depth of their complexity and insight, Bond explores a dialogue between the spiritual and the religious.
A tour de force of emotional truth and focus, For the Lost Cathedral embodies a spirit of wonder in the face of difficulties that might otherwise appear intractable.

Review
''In this new political climate, Bond's recently published For the Lost Cathedral anticipates its own relevance. . . . For the Lost Cathedral is not unusual for looking at cruelty and destruction so intently; what distinguishes it is that in poem after poem we are vividly recalled to the fact that what has been destroyed was once given to flourish.''Interim
''The capaciousness of Bond's vision--coupled with the graceful, legato fluidity of his measured lines--resists convenient assurances of eternal truth, just as it questions the historical failures of organized religion. . . . For the Lost Cathedral may very well be the best poetry collection from 2015 you've yet to read. Bruce Bond may very well be the most gifted lyric poet writing in America today.'' --Plume
