NEW YORK HARBOR OF ANNA FRAJLICH

The author analyses Anna Frajlich’s poetic records of her experience of exile in order to determine what New York, the place she has lived in for over forty years, has come to mean to her. The article shows the long process of taming the urban space and overcoming the sense of alienation. In the end, New York − a city of immigrants − in all its multiculturalism becomes part of the poet's identity.
