In a unique collaboration, The Other Sky presents a dialogue between poet and painter. Bruce Bond's poems probe and respond to the haunting and mysterious paintings of Aron Wiesenfeld. By virtue of the power and refinement of the images and poems, The Other Sky creates a symbiosis larger than either medium alone.

I cannot sing my way into your child's
suffering. I try. And the music of trying

goes speechless in the woods between us.
Let me try again. Once there was a girl

who climbed a tree to end her misery
to hang among the branches like a bell.

Bruce Bond is the author of nine poetry books.

Aron Wiesenfeld's drawings and paintings have appeared in numerous exhibitions in the United States and Europe.
