Description
Poetry. "In THE ICE STORM, Meg Kearney tells the story of a marriage disintegrating against the backdrop of the traumatic events of 9/11 and their aftermath. Whether read as a single long poem or a crown of sonnets ending with a marvelous final cento, THE ICE STORM reveals this wonderful poet's tonal and formal accomplishment, as well as her refusal to look away when the world is 'imploding again,' or from the painfully raw truth of 'how love can die so quietly.'"—Daniel Tobin
