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?"

DESCRIPTION - 'The poems of Immigrant Model embody robust and sizzling magic - Mihaela Moscaliuc transports readers through vivid, multilayered scenes, richly startling images, and a mesmerizing gift for narrative. Here, a haunting world we would never otherwise see - our sense of history and terrain is altered forever.' - Naomi Shihab Nye. 'To paraphrase Norman Mailer, when history becomes absurd and fraught the poet must take over for the historian. Moscaliuc is such a poet. She takes on Ceaucescu's Romania as well as the aftermath of Chernobyl with a surreal, sensuous ferocity. Mouth, lips, tongue (some of the most frequently repeated words in the book) are means of survival; they devour and indict. The book's sustained power is extraordinary.' - Stephen Dunn. Past praise for Mihaela Moscaliuc: 'Moscaliuc can compress plot worthy of a novel into a one- to-two page poem that flaunts that skill often. Most impressively, she manages this compression without ever sounding prosaic, sacrificing little of the elegant, studied lyricism practiced in most of these poems. It's a music that seems deceptively plain at times, but one that lingers, growing fuller and richer with each read.' - Martin Woodside, Poetry International. inventory #44209.
