Thin Ice takes the reader on an odyssey of the imagination, with poems whose sources range from a childhood in Maine, to NYC of the Vietnam era, to our paranoid post-9/11 world. There is a measure of relief in the quotidian pleasures of our beleaguered natural environment, whether from a terrace on a Greek island, or the poet's garden in Cornwall. Thin Ice follows Alice Kavounas' earlier collections, Ornament of Asia and The Invited.

Autorenporträt
Alice Kavounas, Manhattan-born to Greek parents, grew up bilingual. Reading English Literature at Vassar inspired her move to London where she achieved publication for her first collection,' The Invited' (Sinclair-Stevenson). Her love of the sea and countryside led her and her novelist/historian husband Frederick Taylor to move to the Lizard, Cornwall, where they have lived for decades. Alice has tutored for The Poetry School London for fifteen years, and was Senior Lecturer at Falmouth University, teaching copywriting, a career which many poets, including herself, have depended on for a living. 'One Step at a Time' is her fourth Shearsman publication.
