Pittsburgh. 2015. January 2015. University of Pittsburgh Press. Uncorrected Proof. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780822963349. Pitt Poetry Series. 104 pages. paperback. keywords: Poetry. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘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.
