Praise for Creek Water
“Harkness’s range of form and subjects is so rich, you can open this volume anywhere to find moments of revelation. ‘One moment, / you’re listing all your failings. / The next, you’re standing with your lover / on a river gravel bar, / showered in a confetti of light.’ More than anything, Harkness’s lyric, muscular language does the necessary work of reconnecting us to the natural world.”
—Alicia Hokanson, author of Perishable World, Winner of the International Eyelands Book Awards Grand Prize for poetry.
