Bøger af Lannie Stabile

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, abuse,and 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) anger,resentment & 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.

SOMETHING DEAD IN EVERYTHING is a collection of flash fiction that explores the intricacies, intimacies, and strangeness of grief, in whatever form it may take; in it the reader is weaved into the fabric of everything and nothing at once--unsettling, dark truths meet the numbness we will all come to understand one day.Stabile weaves together multiple vignettes with perfect articulation. Nothing is out of place, and everything packs a punch. The opening story, To Wash and Dry a Vessel, is an absolute banger that I will remember every time I clutch my morning coffee to my chest.--Tiffany Meuret, author of Little BirdI could never have imagined a collection of stories so delightful about death! A girl with a mean stepfather composes a dream list of ways he might perish. A mother's ghost fills a Sudoku grid with 911s. A dead baker takes new form as a vengeful gingerbread man. Stabile's lively macabre inventions enchanted me with their comic hauntings and thrilling rage.--Polly Rosenwaike, author of Look How Happy I'm Making You: StoriesFiction.
