Immigrant Model

The poems in Immigrant Model explore issues of individual and communal identity in the face of conflict, conflicting "e;truths"e; or histories, and uprootedness.

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, "e;What is it like to be of this world and this world and this world, while also of the elsewhere skirting these worlds?"e;
