"In poems precariously balanced on the pacing of each line, Harris delves below the primeval to the 'sideshow soul,' stranger we confront each time we look in the mirror and, suddenly, 'the cranium slips around/ like continental shelves forming/ Himalayas.' ... But however they may shake us out of our quotidian comforts, the luscious music of her poems ultimately sustains us with their 'true words/ whose cryptic carvings/ tumble from rune-stones/ right before [our] eyes.'" John Gery, author of American Ghost: Selected Poems.
