“Like a stringed instrument that continues to vibrate after the musician has ceased playing, Harrington’s poems resonate. Without in any way simplifying or ignoring the darker side of life—pain, loss, death, injustice—Harrington is a celebratory poet who sees with the fresh, wondering eye of a child, but knows with the mind and heart of an adult.”
—Elizabeth Spires, from the Foreword
“Her rich, colloquial poems draw on both folklore and science, and are tributes to her weary but tenacious family in their journey North.”
—The Tartan
“Early in the manuscript, Harrington introduces her readers to the constructed world we are to inhabit. She proclaims in the last line of the first poem, ‘I build a house for us. Rejoice.’ And what follows is her brilliant foundation, and many reasons for praise.”
