   What does a feathered friend say if he dies?

   • Like a warped walk-on from Disney, this wise-cracking feathered friend comes to roost in the family's London apartment, "every surface dead Mum, every crayon, tractor, coat, welly, covered in a film of grief," and he promises, "I won't leave until you don't need me anymore."

   How is grief depicted in the poem?

   • The grief depicted in the poem is exclusively masculine in nature and the character being grieved for has only the identities of a wife and mother. Nothing beyond that emerges about her, and the only female voice appears in a very brief conversation with a dying grandmother.

   Is the Crow a personification of grief?

   • I thought lots of parts of the book were moving, but I personally could not relate to the Crow character, even if I just saw the Crow as a personification of grief. Grief doesn't need a personification, it doesn't need a metaphor. The terrible thing about grief is that it is only grief, it cannot transform, it is inescapable.

   In Max Porter’s novel (or novel-poem), grief becomes ‘Crow’, who descends upon this family. He’s variously a babysitter, a friend, a ghost, a terrorizer. He impersonates a mother; he’s a joker; he’s twisted. He causes chaos. That’s what it captures: the absolute unpredictability, and nastiness, and then sudden benevolence of grief.”
