I Make You Bird is a heart-wrenching testimony to the power of love and the strength of enduring grief. Diana Cant writes with exquisite honesty about loss and living with a new reality. Her poems are a testament to love and the need for healing, to finding ways of understanding what death means to the living and finding what it means to be alive. These poems are about facing down fear and loss to keep living, but they also hold out the possibility that love is something we carry inside ourselves and can be kept alive in the memory of another.
