Excerpt from the story “A Summer in the Lives of Two Rebels”:

“Reaction to these accounts understandably ran the gamut from complete agreement and belief in unidentified flying objects to skepticism by those who said such sightings were more optical illusions from overheated imaginations or experimental aircraft from the nearby air force base.”


“(Bunch’s) poems strike a sharp tone, as a jazz image. He speaks of the urban, rural, and eternal malaise; and joy of man.” —Vanderbilt Divinity Review


Excerpt from the poem “True to Form, True to Chaos”:

“True to chaos, I prefer passion to possession,
an earth who understands, mornings seized by joy
in the opening poppy, beyond the range of the visible.”


(Bunch’s) poems are “well-written, richly evocative, and filled with compelling images.”
—K.A. Hunter, Carriage House Review


Excerpt from the novel Cornet and Clarinda:

“Still the tractor came, its engine at a slow, steady drone, its body vibrating, turning the clod-packed wheels into fertile earth. It had made several rows that resembled streaks laid bare like an army had cut it low. It was turning into another row and off on its way when Cornet saw a rose standing in the tractor’s path. He ran as fast as the earth would permit and the tractor and Cornet made a V for the rose.”
