In Ocean Avenue, Malena Mörling examines the givens of our daily lives and discovers them to be more mysterious than we had supposed. The poet´s sense of wonder is contagious whether she views the world from her seat on a train, from the window of her apartment, or from the streets of the city. Through a subtle, mediated surrealism, Mörling reins in the urban landscapes of New York, drawing the reader into her meditations on the temporal and spatial, on language itself.
