Cynthia West says, "Kneeling, I retrieve shattered shards, glue
them together. If I can stick even one piece to another, I have a
poem. It is bread. . . . To write poetry, I memorize suffering's
names, visit the wounds no stitches can hide, gather stories in my
pain bag until it bursts. Love aches if it isn't told. . . . My
words are small, round circles, elm seeds, designed to inhabit
cracks. They sprout, growing leaves that call water, roots that
hold earth, shade that shelters fruit. . . . I lean over the
stream, holding a tin for panning gold, allow water to wash away
the mud until the sun flashes on wet metal. . . . Kneeling, I
retrieve shattered shards, glue them together. If I can stick even
one piece to another, I have a poem. It is bread." Known for her
visionary realist paintings, Cynthia is also a poet, a
photographer, a digital compositor, a book artist, and a potter.
Her home and garden of thirty-five years is a healing center as
well as her studio and gallery. In addition, West is the author of
"Rainbringer," also from Sunstone Press.
