About the Author
Sandra Stone grew up in Los Angeles and Seattle. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon. Her working life incoporates the writing of other writers; she proposes and selects literary text for public buildings and spaces. Among her recent commissions are several libraries, the Oregon State Archives Building, and a U.S. Federal courthouse. She also makes found object assemblages that incorporate dispossessed lines from her poems. For her short fictions, she is the recipient of a fellowship from Oregon Literary Arts.

from THE ART OF CRACKAGE
. . . The stone basin,
dependent for its mirror on rain, yesterday in the courtyard
unfilled itself. I suppose this is what is meant
by seepage, the barely perceived hairline crack,
the weathered days, one after one,
the sieve through which fathers baldly pass,
mother, with her badly conceived apron,
and, finally, ourselves, from wherever we were,
last seen by ourselves. . . .
I prefer the face
behind its indifferent mask. And the body,
a sad scaffold. Or the heart, perched on a lifeguard's scan.
Because the flower folds sooner.
And father. And mother.
Still, don't we go on
craving the sight o the face of the other?
Isn't this too bad, such hunger in the courtyard
for the refletion of what is lapsed or eluded,
vainly, for the sight of itself,
a small blue flower of no particularity, bent to an absence,
an unbearable crack, a report of the dark?
