1 y separately published work icon Love, Variously : A Gathering Keith Harrison , Northfield : Black Willow Press , 2017 14066285 2017 selected work poetry

'In this gathering of old and new poems, Keith Harrison offers specific and wide-ranging instances of how love works, tangibly, undeniably, in our lives. The poems range from mischievous aphorisms to the darker ironies of divorce, from the lyrical to the elegiac, from lost love to joyful affirmation. Taken together, they are features of an incomplete map, a catalogue of instances held together by a celebration of our bodies and the immediacy of the physical world.' (Publication summary)
