{"product_id":"9780865345829","title":"The New Sun","description":"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.","brand":"Sunstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49778496307440,"sku":"9780865345829","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780865345829_p0.jpg?v=1780090592","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780865345829","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
