"To enter this work is to remain open to the haphazard, the lopsided, the fragile, and the bracing details that tell our times as we both know and fear them. Believe What You Can is an astonishing and generous book that gives a credible 'map of true witness.'"
Maggie Anderson, author of Windfall: New and Selected Poems and Dear All
"Believe What You Can overflows with rich lines and vivid images, as the poet laureate of West Virginia speaks to classic concerns of loving the land, struggling to thrive, and holding on to what can be believed."
Ron Houchin, author of The Man Who Saws Us In Half: Poems
"Harshman’s poetic sophistication is clear and shows the insight and wisdom of an experienced poet who treats the forces of death, disruption, and dissonance with the seriousness and humor they deserve."
Eddy Pendarvis, author of Like the Mountains of China and Ghost Dance Poems
