by Natalia Andrievskikh (Author)
Clay Unbreakables is a book of prose poetry about the homesickness one feels as an immigrant in a new land. The protagonist is mediating on her Eastern European childhood, womanhood and foreignness of being a non-native in America. The poems also observe and document the differences between modern and traditional schools of thought, remedies and philosophies. A remination on memory, It is like reading a series of poetic diary entries by a woman struggling to answer questions about her nationality, gender, and identity.
