In OCEAN AVENUE, Malena Mrling captivates us with an eyeful of American urbanity-crowds, traffic, pigeons. But the cumulative effect is not "the color of pavement" (20).

Morling's poems are are fresh and deceptively simple, and alive. There are definite overtones of Eastern philosophy and religion here, as in the superb "Standing on the Earth Among the Cows.

A beautiful book dealing lightly with dark subjects, filled with fresh modifiers, weighty conclusions, and perceptions as intense as a child's. Morling holds onto things that have passed through most of us, weighs them, and puts them on shelves so we can look at them again.
