Description

In Uncomfortability, Roxanna Bennett's third book with Gordon Hill Press, pandemic conditions are explored in their individuated awfulness but also their paradoxical solidarity, the unifying collective status of being somehow constrained, life radically changing due to social proscription. Continuing her development and renovation of the sonnet form established in her previous books, but building on the form by arranging the text into seasonal divisions like a Book of Hours, Uncomfortability is devoted to this question from "Life Without Weather", "Could we begin to love each other’s pain?" The book answers, "No one needs to fight. We are all the same."
