Immigrant Model
Author: Mihaela Moscaliuc
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822980436
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
The poems in Immigrant Model explore issues of individual and communal identity in the face of conflict, conflicting "truths" or histories, and uprootedness. They explore the notion of homeland as it relates to one's roots, adopted space, psychological terrain, gendered body. If the book reads as a collage of voices or shards rather than as a book with an identifiable arc, it's because that's the only way the poet has managed to answer, so far, the question, "What is it like to be of this world and this world and this world, while also of the elsewhere skirting these worlds?"
