No. I'm an academician with an interest in his poetry, and Bond has confirmed in an email to me that he doesn't have a poetry collection. (I'm Neil Graves, a professor of English, and can be reached at .) Bond has at least eight published poems, all done before 1965 or so, and he doesn't regard this as an adequate number for a collection; some of these titles, five of them actually, have been rather frequently anthologized and reprinted. The 8 titles are "The Bishop of Atlanta: ray Charles," "Cambridge, Mass.," "Habana" (I have an article on this poem forthcoming in THE EXPLICATOR late 2008), "I, Too, Hear America Singing," "Langston Hughes," "Look at that Gal" (titled "#3" in one of its publications), "Miles," and "Rotation." Four of his poems appear in the anthology BEYOND THE BLUES: NEW POEMS BY AMERICAN NEGROES (1962); four of them appear in the journal UMBRA (issue 1.1), 1963; two of them appear in NEW NEGRO POETS, USA (1964, RPT. 1970); one of them appears in THE BOOK OF NEGRO HUMOR (1966); one of them appears in 100 PLUS AMERICAN POEMS (1970); and three of them appear in THE NEW CRISIS 107/1 (Jan-Feb. 2000): 32. Essentially Bond didn't publish new poems beyond his student days, but he continues to list some of his verse publications (and mentions "poems and articles") on his professional web site at U VA, and in his bio releases he mentions his role as one of the founders of THE PEGASUS, a student literary magazine at Morehouse. (He was an English major.) Bond reports in an email to me that his memory is not precise about exactly how many poems he published. I've not seen copies of THE PEGASUS (Bond doesn't have them) and don't know whether any poems published in that journal (if indeed there are any) are different titles from the eight I have located. Prof. Esta Seaton, one of Bond's mentors ca. 1960 or earlier, says that some friends through he might follow the role of poet rather than that of civil rights advocate. Langston Hughes saw him as one of the bright young African American poets of the 1960s.
