Incredibly, [Teva Harrison] used her diminished time to create a heart-rending depiction of disease and its effects, complete with many tiny, beautiful drawings of flowers, insects, stars, and birds. Facing death, Harrison still found beauty in the world and wanted to share it. * Quill and Quire * In Not One of These Poems Is About You, author and artist Teva Harrison has documented the beauty, fullness, and magic of life and human connection in an honest, vulnerable, and tender collection of poems and line drawings. * Globe and Mail *
