James Harrison (1937–2016) was an American poet, novelist, and essayist whose work is distinguished by its lyrical intensity and sustained engagement with landscape, memory, and the natural world. Writing across multiple genres, Harrison explored themes of love, loss, masculinity, and spiritual restlessness, often grounding his narratives in the rural Midwest and American West. The Shape of the Journey (1998) is a poetry collection by Jim Harrison that consolidates his long-standing preoccupations with travel, landscape, memory, and the passage of time. "This is poetry worth loving, hating, and fighting over" (The New York Times Book Review).
