"Ghosts"


 "I leapt. I ran. I kept talking about ghosts. No one believed me. The ghost wasn't the diver. It was the house. It was the echo." 

 A meditation on the unseen forces that haunt the edges of ordinary life and shape how we move through the world. 

Read it at Blood + Honey

"One Hundred and Forty-One Miles"


 "This being who is a part of me, but whole and beautiful and independent. This amazing creature and all that is, as yet, unknown to her. How someday she'll have a song that will transport her back." 

Reckoning with impermanence, grief, and the terror of letting her daughter go, measured in the exact distance between home and college.

"Why I Am Not A Buddhist Monk"


 "I didn't need guns or rope or nuclear weapons. I was a nuclear weapon. But at the temple, I was Bopnim. Devout. Robed in grey. A teacher with training wheels." 

A wry reflection on the longing for spiritual order and the messy, human misalignments that make devotion impossible.

Pink wraps what has been and what is into a UNIQUE AND COMPELLING story of what will be, Jennifer Harris grounds the reader with her in both time and place presenting a read that is, at one moment in time, poetic, fantastic and fun. A TRUE POETIC READ. 

Pink Magazine

Poetic and unique in execution, the first-person narrator of Jennifer Harris' debut novel foretells a future based not on what is or was, but what will be when the novel she will write is published.... So poignant are the details and engrossing is the text, the reader forgets the plot is based on fantasy-despite the narrator's constant reminding-yielding a powerfully emotional and unexpected finish.

Pink is a novel of grace notes with the rare misstep…this novel of the future is a gamble that pays off thanks to Harris's sweet and well-drawn narrator.  —Ellen Wernecke

The narrator of Jennifer Harris' ingenious first novel, Pink, is spiraling...  Harris weaves together several different threads, providing the narrator with a unique, beguiling voice. ...Pink is an incredibly well-crafted, inventive novel about what it means to dream so big that the dream itself becomes reality.   —Heather Aimee O’Neill

Pink is something that is very different from the usual hype. It is so refreshing to actually find a book that has another angle to the gay/lesbian scene. The author also uses her poetic ability throughout this very 'pink' book. I feel certain that this is one of those novels that will find itself a big fan base, especially with covering gay and lesbian rights. It looks like Jennifer Harris has a good writing career ahead of her so place this book on your bedside table or pop it in your handbag. Definitely worth a read even if you're not gay yourself. —Jessica Roberts
