Synopsis: The lyric poems in Ice Lands journey through regions of knowing and not knowing, alive to our mortal connections in this precarious world and to the brevity of our stay. This book, says poet Lisa Russ Spaar, reads like “a gathering of koans, a breviary for navigating the second decade of the twenty-first century."
