How to Jump from a Moving Train - Paperback

by Oriana Ivy (Author)

"How to Jump from a Moving Train" offers an interweave of immigrant experience with a complex mother-daughter relationship, with a secondary interweave of history and myth. The speaker was born and raised in Poland, and came to this country when she was seventeen. Her poems often address the "doubleness" of being an immigrant, the deep cultural divide that the experience tends to produce.
