It explores the art of poetry itself and the longing for a home and happiness. Ultimately, it ends with wildflowers, weeds, blue cake, blue butterflies, and a poet reaching toward the light. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Purbaugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733890045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Barbara Ann Parker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52507651342517,"sku":"9781733890045","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5bc85a6f-ee59-4ada-834b-639a37d2847d.jpg?v=1778566380","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/twisting-toward-the-light-9781733890045","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
