REVIEWS: "This is not a story about foiled plans and what's the use of trying anyway. This is precisely a story about making things -- making stories, making plans, making lists, and making love -- in the face of the inevitable messiness we will encounter." --from the foreword by Laurie Wagner
REVIEWS: "In the continuum of life and trying to discover my true self, Sabrina reminds me, through her brave, insightful and heartfelt honesty, that we are all connected in this journey...When I read her words,I felt acknowledged for my journey and for being a woman in these complex times." --from the introduction by Hilary Swank, actor
"The pages are handwritten and handpainted. Each page is a collage, a fragmented puzzle of thoughts and lists and quotations, tied together with photos and color and honest, imperfect work." --The Washington Post
"A series of lush and textured collages, Harrison's book contains colors, words, drawings, photos and other 'spillings' of self-discovery. Each page requires contemplation and others innumberable wonders to discover." --Publishers Weekly
REVIEWS:
"Sabrina is a luminous mystery, a carousel of feelings, lumps and discoveries. If you could lie down with her journals, you would see genius. That genius is in this book. Yes she is young. Thank God. We might get that much more from here. --from the introduction by SARK,
author/artist of Succulent Wild Woman "Harrison writes about the ache of innocent young love, the search for authentic life, drinking jasmine tea, and youthful idealism...[She] taps into that underground vein of feminist thinking that isn't about smashing corporate glass ceilings or athletic records. It's about accepting feelings, questioning expectations and celebrating your individuality, not just your accomplishments." --USA Today
"Sabrina's work defies categorization...Once I turned the page, I discovered that her work was too elaborate to simply be called a book. Spilling Open is an intense, poetic and visually powerful diary...Sabrina Ward Harrison could be the offspring of May Sarton, Henry Miller, Rilke or Whitman. Or she could just be a regular girl like me. And that, for once, is what gets my attention." --Whitney Matheson, USAToday.com
