"Poems marked by energy, wit and formal precision. Matinees is a wonderful
collection of new poems by a very accomplished young poet. While some of the
poems address subjects like fear in an airplane, or the ups and downs of
relationships, all are filled with an abundance of positive energy. Ms.
Mlinko's language manages to be precise and, at the same time, able to bend
and reveal words'unexpected nuances and meanings. While traces of Whitman,
O'Hara and the Beats are lurking here, her voice and sensibility are clearly
her own. These Matinees are well worth the price of admission, and reveal
more with each reading."

"A collection of poems marked by energy and precision of form. Ms. Mlinko's
first collection of published poems is a delight; for a young poet her
mastery of form and precision of language is remarkable. Many of these poems
are set in the city, and give an inside look at the sensations and feelings
of the city-dweller--they're fast, energetic, often propelled by nervous
energy or anxiety. Many recall the poems of Frank O'Hara, and his wonderful
urban discoveries of the 50's. This collection marks the beginning phase of
someone worth watching."
I've been watching out for and hugely enjoying her works in the US little mag
flora for a couple of years now.
Cheers,
Anselm Hollo
