Publisher's Synopsis
Richard Wilbur says that "love calls us to the things of this world," and that sentiment is never more evident than in these heartfelt poems by Diana Reaves. Every line overflows with love-for friends and family, music and poetry, scripture and worship, the small details of home and family life, and the beauties of the natural world, especially the landscape and waterways of eastern Alabama. What We See When We Look Up is a gift-a blessing from a young poet who has found her voice, and is sure of what she knows and believes, and who reminds us to treasure each precious moment of life, here in this world that she left all too soon.
