Praise for Celebrating Sound
"In this vivid, heartfelt collection of poetry and essays, Jennifer Harmon showcases a deep mother-daughter bond. Jennifer is known for the positivity and light in her live performance which shines through in her writing. The love she carries for her mother and their ability to overcome challenges is an inspiration."
- Kambri Crews, author of Burn Down The Ground: A Memoir (Random House)
"Have you ever felt sound and given it a name? In Jennifer & Patricia Harmon's book, Celebrating Sound, we are taught how to define touching language like daughters of the alphabet, how to taste poetry grown from Latin roots, and feel fabric of a dress steeped in syntax. And No, we don't need to give sound a name, because we experience two voices that are genetic echos for survival."
- Megan DiBello, founder of Poetry Teachers NYC
"Love like ours does not often occur in life,' Patricia Harmon writes to her cherished daughter, Jennifer. Their bond is one we are so blessed to experience through both of their words and work- a vibrant testament to walking forward through tragedy with wild grace, recognizing that true love never ends. It grows in the present, even through separation- still alive and meant to be celebrated. This collection is a vision and a gift- not only a gutsy, moving snapshot of an extraordinary mother and daughter, but a precious illumination of the greater powers of love, strength, and belief?"
- Audrey Dimola, poet & curator, author of Decisions We Make While We Dream and TRAVERSALS
"Jennifer Harmon's first collection of prose and poetry is storytelling at its finest. Her words come from the gut and get intimate with the audience. She is Patty Harmon's daughter and Patty is her muse. The fusion of two generations— their voices, tears, and victories are in balance. A fine tribute to the author's mother and proof that literary genes run in the family."
