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).

All That Feeds Us: The West Virginia Poems

An exquisite collection of poems that encourage us to look within to understand the world around us. These are poems that are “deeply felt, deeply affecting and absolutely essential.”

Believe What You Can

A moving book of poems that explores those moments of grace that enlighten and enrich our lives, Believe What You Can portrays our rural worlds that are at the heart of Appalachian roots and beliefs.

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.”
