Green-Silver and Silent: Poems
A collection that reveals a poet who is, as Denise Giardina writes, “deeply anchored in the Earth” and poems that express a clear-eyed understanding of both human beings and a natural world unvarnished and unromanticized. Nonetheless, there is throughout this eyes-wide-open view of an unforgiving universal scheme the solid notion that the “dancers inherit the party” (Breaking the Ice 27).

Woman in Red Anorak
Harshman takes subjects of war, age, disaster, and those voices of the lost and raises them to understanding and restorative and brilliantly told moments of truth. As always, each quirky, edgy expression of our human dilemmas often make us smile and exhale with relief.

Following the Silence
2024 West Virginia Common Read Selection. Harshman’s newest collection offers “hope” wrapped warmly in the poet’s inimitable and appealing way of looking at the natural and human worlds. As Harshman writes in “The Others”: “I’ll hold up this thread once light, now words, perhaps still aquiver and, if lucky transparent with the ways of the nameless gods who’ve not yet left us here alone in this lonely land.”
