The Inconvenience of Grief - Paperback

by Lannie Stabile (Author)

In Lannie Stabile's latest collection of poetry, The Inconvenience of Grief, we find a writer who has come into her own. Stabile builds upon the themes previously explored in her chapbooks, Little Masticated Darlings, Strange Furniture, and Hi Lonely, I'm Dad - family, intergenerational trauma, poverty, abuse, and loss - and brings a new perspective and maturity to her craft. Now with a family of her own and reeling from the death of her mother, we find an evolution from (understandable) anger, resentment & blame to something more tender, more vulnerable, more forgiving. The scope of this collection is immense & complex and asks the reader to reimagine the definition and nature of grief.
