Malena Mörling Joins Alice James Books with Third Book, Lumina Station
Malena Mörling Joins Alice James Books with Lumina Station.
The author of two previous books of poetry, Mörling will publish her third collection, Lumina Station, with Alice James Books in November 2026.
On Lumina Station, Alice James Executive Director and Publisher Carey Salerno says: “These poems are full of dreamy yet grounded energy, the coexistence of the physical and metaphysical, short-line poems that appear punctuated yet read in a very smooth and eloquent way. The poems are like spiral staircases in many ways (traveling between two landings/the visual appearance of them/the way they spin narratives). They call us to consider our place in the world. What is our purpose? How do we make meaning amidst the absurdity?”
