She Can Still Sing is a eulogy that radiates from the light, written while the author mourned the tragic loss of a dear friend who tragically succumbed to the depths of mental illness after a long and arduous battle. This poignant collection of poems seamlessly weaves together elements of love letter to the ordinary, hymn to the departed, and journey of wonderment, creating a tapestry that celebrates the profound bonds of friendship and family. Throughout the pamphlet, Louisa's deep connection to the natural world becomes evident through subtle references to water and the vibrant array of flora that adorns the earth. A sense of the passage of time and its unwavering preservation of the natural order permeates every page, reinforcing the cyclical nature of life. Even in the face of profound grief, there is a glimmer of joy, and it is essential to embrace this dichotomy to avoid becoming "beating crimson wings/ against the glass of a window which can never/ be opened."
