What a pleasure to have a selected poems by Jonathan Harrington. Truth-telling, passionate, plainspoken, awestruck, The Frozen Sea Within Us moves through forty years of work that relishes unreconciled contradictions. Drifting from visionary to poignant longing to surreality (bicycles falling from the sky!). I kept thinking of Mahmoud Darwish’s words: “Extreme clarity is a mystery.” This is the clear voice of an honest friend with urgent news. A dazzling collection. 

—John Wall Barger, author of Smog Mother

"This overdue volume charts the remarkable career of an unmistakable voice in American poetry. Harrington's range—embracing the South, New York and Mexico, as well as interior landscapes of a re-imagined gospel in today's Middle East—is rare and impressive. Deeply felt, sometimes harrowing, sometimes funny, these are poems that sing to the soul."

—Charles Holdefer, author of Don’t Look At Me

While reading Jonathan Harrington, one has the feeling that, for this writer, nothing’s sacred, at the same time that everything is. He can inhabit biblical times as well as the backyard of a nephew with its “chromium lawn furniture”, and a shed “with AC (what!) for the lawnmower?” This poet is always moving, and everywhere he goes, he takes his ‘southern self’. The world is full of annoyances—getting old, dogs that start up a chorus, loneliness, darkness. He goes into the wilderness of the self, too, where “You begin to see a god in the face of every tree.” The one place that seems a steadying factor, an anchor, is home: “I was born where

orange/groves run in geometric rows”, he writes in lines presenting a solid, sure footing, where

all else is doubt and contradiction. With wit and calamitous humor, The Frozen Sea Within Us poses its own wonderful truths and enigmas.

—Mervyn Taylor, author of The Last Train

A poet of the quotidian, Jonathan Harrington has the seer’s gift of perceiving the extraordinary beneath the ordinary and the ordinary beneath the extraordinary. His lyrical bent is infused with a droll sense of humor and delicious irony. Most of the poems in this welcome collection are brief but sharp, snapshots that speak volumes about the larger world and that of the poet’s self, and how the twain intersects in haunting, intricate, and surprising ways. There’s craft and magic in Harrington’s words sure to ensorcell the reader.

—Luis H. Francia, author of Thorn Grass

Comfortable Everyday Cotton Shorts
Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
Soft fabric, good stretch, and a relaxed fit that lands at a perfect length, these shorts hit that sweet spot between lounge wear and quick‑errand gear. The waistband has enough give without feeling flimsy, the pockets are actually usable, and the overall feel stays comfortable through the day. For the price, they’re an easy pickup that delivers exactly what you want from simple cotton shorts.

Good for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
they're very good for the price. There's definitely alot of noticeable cost cutting (material feels kind of thin, and the inside of the shorts look "rough" and unfinished). But still they look good and are comfortable and light. Great for summer and will live up to their price. fits well.

They are comfortable!
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
I really like them. Pockets are very helpful and the size was right for me eventhough it was suggested a size bigger. Washed both already and noticed no shrinkage. Very comfortable and the length is just above the knees. Great for hanging about, in the gym or even a trip to the store.

BIG GIRLS LOVE 'EM TOO!
Size: 3X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
I am a plus size gal. I was looking for some sleep shorts, but all the ones for us plus size gals were so short I may as well not have been wearing anything. I decided to look in men's shorts, and found these. They are nice and long, and the material is nice and soft. Also, unlike the women's shorts, the pockets in these are nice sized, big enough for my phone and then some. There's a drawstring, but the elastic in these is plenty to keep them up and riding at my waist, where they're supposed to be, without having to tie them. Typically I wear a 2X, but I purchased these in a 3X because I like a little more room in my PJ bottoms, and they fit great. The only thing I don't care for necessarily is that the elastic waistband is just a smidge scratchy, but after wearing them a while I found it didn't bother me. And the price is pretty good for two pairs - much cheaper than women's plus shorts. I liked them enough that I came back and bought 4 more pair!

Comfortable and stretchy shorts with pockets!
Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black, Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
For the most part, I've exclusively worn pants/jeans/slacks since my teens, I'm pretty sure that I've worn a skirt or dress on only 2 occasions in my life, and the skirt part was ankle - floor length those 2 times... Just to paint a picture for anyone reading my review knows how serious I am about hiding my almost reflectively white legs. At least up until I moved from the West Coast all the way to Oklahoma. Not only did I realize that I've taken California/PNW weather for granted all these years, but I quickly learned that I would now be wearing shorts every chance I get in this heat. These shorts aren't made with a heavy type of fabric, they are stretchy and lightweight, and they even have pockets! My wardrobe color pallet is mostly just black or slightly different shades of black, so of course I got these shorts in black. Plus Fruit of the Loom has been a known name brand for as long as I can remember. These are a great value for the money, great quality so far, and the waist is easy/self-explanatory to adjust. I would like to point out that the tie string in the waist somehow got tangled with a stray string or tie string attached to something else in the same load of laundry I put the shorts in. I ended up having to cut off the part that was frayed from getting tangled, so I suggest that the tie around the waist of theses shorts should be knotted/tied together to hopefully avoid the tie string from fraying in the wash or something.
