About this title

Synopsis

_Trusting Ice_ a wide ranging collection of lyric poems featuring luminous presentations of the natural world in the author's native Massachusetts and imbued with a sense of Irish culture and history. "The sun is shining like it means it," writes O'Brien, and in this collection, a reader has no doubt she means it. A stunning gathering by a writer at the height of her powers.
