COPPER PLATE ETCHINGS
1951
Lucile Bond, Willard's mother, was a poet and a member of the Idaho Writers' League and the Lewiston Writers' Club. A book of her poetry, River Harvest, was published in 1951. "Her poems have a virile quality which is matched by a certain eloquence of phrase and resourcefulness in figurative structure ... The book is beautifully Illustrated by the author's son, Willard Bond." —Spokane Chronicle, April 12, 1951
