Lisa Harris' book length poem, Dwelling Space, is a precise exploration of the world. To enter this space with her is to linger with bees among flowers and stand with her among all things green. This is poetry that ponders diverse landscapes and listens to the languages of sea otters, wolf eels, and trigger fish; this is a voyage to the Brazilian rain forest, to the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain, to Greece, and a journey from Coastal Georgia north to the Allegheny Mountains.

But ultimately, in Dwelling Space, Harris is a gardener of time and dust, sharing a holy passport for destinations beyond borders.

The Bardian, winter 2018, commented on Harris' first collection of poems, Traveling Through Glass, a collaboration with visual artist, Patricia Brown:

"This multi-disciplinary collaboration, in which Brown sketched in charcoal a model dancing to Harris's poems, engages the intellect ("we leave and never arrive, as Zeno predicted, reductio ad absurdum") and also the senses ("Tenor toned your velvet voice makes a pillow for me to choose.")"
