As the title indicates, Part of the Deeper Sea explores the relationships between small incidents--seeing horseshoe crabs on the beach, attending high school play, finding a gray hair--and the larger themes of human life. What Harrod does best is make unexpected elegant connections in poems that recognize the laughter and sorrow of daily life. Underneath everything is what Lynn Powell called the "submerged terrain where we really live."

Spelling the World Backwards is a poignant account of a father dying from Alzheimer's disease and a mother's caretaking. Accessible narrative poems tell the story,though not in chronological order, of the father and a mother, their life together, their daughters and his dying--that slow pouring out of grief which accompanies Alzheimer's. Harrod uses Alzheimer's to explore the interrelationships of memory, loss and art in her lucid, well-wrought poems, which celebrate a father's life.
