All Comments on 'Aleksandra (this is my name)'

Initially I could not make up my mind whether this is mostly a dramatization, concocted to create a credible illusion of a vulnerable and naive pre immigrant (I actually had to check this poem against another by this poet to come to my conclusion), or whether it is some sort of a satirical piece. Because of the strong effort to imitate reality I concluded that it was your intention to document and amplify one person's vulnerable stage in life. As such I could see it in the letters section. I did not necessarily get the feel of 'a poem' here, but definitions are not my main interest here. Still, the piece itself moved me and therefore, regardless of typology I feel it is a good piece.
