About the Book

In this follow-up to "It Happens That Fast" and "Briarcliff, North Carolina poet and author Jon Obermeyer explores a period in his mid to late 30's when he and his wife raised two daughters in the suburbs north of Greensboro.

The Harbor is a story of the American middle class (and a marriage) starting to show the cracks that are susceptible to events like 9/11 and 2008, but ultimately usher in a restoration of identity and authenticity.
