Poetry. "Judith Harris creates tableaux of memory and shines a keen light on the particulars of the natural world in these poignant, carefully observed, and scrupulously written poems that ache with mortality. NIGHT GARDEN is an illuminating book." Edward Hirsch"In her exquisitely disquieting third book, Judith Harris addresses the most ordinary matters and events with a brooding clarity that leaves the reader with shivery recognitions. Memories of youth, stark yet appreciative observations of garden and nature, and the trials of the body are combined to form a complete vision of a life in middle age. She remembers her mother 'tucking children into bed, / stroking a forehead / or a cheek, / then, closing the door / on what will keep.' In NIGHT GARDEN, the daughter now asks and praises what will keep in a world of anguish and struggle. While peering at mortality and tracing evanescence, these poems create the sound of yearning for life, and speak with both modesty and candor. The poetry is a victory over its most imposing adversaries." Ron Slate"
