“Uncomfortable minds” is Larry’s Sorkin’s riff on poet e.e. cummings ‘ words, “Cambridge ladies who...are unbeautiful and have comfortable mind” which refer to the conceit that uncomfortable minds are universal to all human beings. Larry Sorkin’s collection of poems—sometimes joyful, sometimes elegiac—explore the idea of the restless, uncomfortable state as either something we can run from, try to fix, or embrace. Each poem in the collection explores some disturbance in the psyche, with poetry as a way to confront the disturbance, use it, embrace it.He poses wilted roses in hand to be Husband to his wife, been trying on that persona for years though rarely fools himself let alone the lovely woman who humors his attempts. He puts on the requisite uniform of Businessman and steps into an office where staff pretend they know him as he struts, issues orders, puts on a serious face before declaring an important meeting and goes home for a nap. Surely, in the privacy of his room, he can convince himself it’s not an act, then dreams of becoming a Red Tailed Hawk’s drift and call over undulating hills. He’s January Rain, plunging through freezing air, then ice that shatters, melts and seeps into dirt. Awake, buoyed, he can be Anything, Anyone. In his garage, he decides to impersonate Small Engine Mechanic—isn’t every man born skilled in such? Chainsaw seeing through his ruse refuses to start.
