Poems for the Dark by Nightbirde is an astounding collection that had me in tears, of devastation, of sadness, but also of hope and of gratitude. These poems come from the very core of Jane's soul, one that was so very beautiful in a life that ended far too soon. In the face of what must have been a shattering prognosis, Jane found hope and love and beauty and, remarkably, does not convey even a trace of bitterness. What a gift her luminous heart has left behind so that we might benefit from her selfless message of grace. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and American Heritage Book Publishing for an ARC.

I was drawn to this book after being deeply moved by her unforgettable performance on America’s Got Talent. Her writing reflects a soul determined to find the beauty amidst life’s challenges. Truly a powerful read.
