The Inconvenience of Grief

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