However, Edstrom has found her way by using the medium of poetry. Whether one chooses poems about Washington state's breathtaking coastal scenes of water, sailing, birds, fishes, and fauna, or poems that compare \"the grace of architecture\" to inspiring musical compositions. . .this gifted poet invites us to walk with her into life's fragile light. \"White Peony\" focuses on the very nature of poetry, \"Teach me about poetry, she said. \/ I don't understand. \/\/ Perhaps there is nothing to teach. \/ I can only share what comes out of silence, \/\/ how a poet tries to make something \/ from the rags of this world.\" This collection is a triumph!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Michael Escoubas, author of \u003cem\u003eRipples Into the Light-PhotoPoetry\u003c\/em\u003e, with artist Vandana Bajikar\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 31, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353520193785,"sku":"9798989948819","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/YVs4bsusxz9798989948819.webp?v=1769825072","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/a-fragile-light-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
