Dirty unfinished glorious 
dollhouse of my youth, 

which I was not allowed to play with 
which sat unfinished in our house 
most of 

my life. 

Neither me nor Mom could figure out 
how to put it together 

she paid some guy named Mike 
He did most of it, but not all. 

It's been languishing in the garage for too long. 
It's dirty. 

It needs to be cleaned. 

It's yours.

Sharon Harrisis a “woman of ethereal interests,” according to Toronto Life. These include poetry experiments, loveology, urban farming, the chase of love graffiti, Toronto propaganda, and baseball field photography. In 2016, Spacing Magazine named her one of “12 extraordinary Toronto women changing the city’s public realm.” NASA once remarked that one her photos is “clever,” so she’ll probably try to work that into every bio from now ’til the end of time, too. Her work has appeared on television and radio, and in newspapers, literary journals and magazines, across Canada. She hopes to send out two manuscripts of poetry (which have been "almost finished" for years) by the end of National Poetry Month, as she has not published a book since 2006.
