A new excerpt from "Beyond Elsewhere" by Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac (White Pine Press, 2016), my translation of "Plus loin qu'ailleurs" (Editions du Cygne), followed by the original French in Fjords Review:

"I invoke heaven’s seal that is Breath, indomitable Breath, Breath that pierces, purifies, resuscitates all it embraces in its elusive dance; and the fiery bush burning our finiteness, our servitudes and our dust, to reawaken in its heart, freed from space and time, their laws rendered powerless."

I'm thrilled to bits to announce that BEYOND ELSEWHERE (White Pine Press, 2016) by Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac, my translation of Plus loin qu'ailleurs (Editions du Cygne) has been awarded a prestigious Hemingway Grant, huge thanks to the Cultural Services | French Embassy in the US. With all my gratitude to Dennis Maloney.

Advance praise:
"This incandescent metonym of light is, writ small, a marriage of eastern and western wisdoms—a Bildungsroman describing the arc of a young man's journey from innocence, through passion and despair, to the great clarity of spiritual understanding. Arnou-Laujeac's intensely visual account, clothed in lyrical image and visionary flame, in Cardona's transcendent translation, easily carries us along in his brightly burning chariot in quest of the Divine."
—Sidney Wade
"Beyond Elsewhere by French poet Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac, and translated by Hélène Cardona is a wonderfully lyric, mesmerizing poetic meditation on desire, love, the soul, and spirituality. Beyond Elsewhere defies definition, hovering in that physical space somewhere above us, just beyond reach, but visible in a breathless lyrical cloud. As Arnou-Laujeac states: “I now know human passion is exclusive, symbiotic, psychotropic, but that the key is the spell eluding it, the time that tears it to pieces.” Arnou-Laujeac's poems are psychotropic — a beautiful new voice in poetry."
—Victoria Chang
"This is the absolute dawn," Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac declares in the final pages of Beyond Elsewhere, a dazzling hymn to the currents of desire that shape each individual life. This is a testament to the ways in which love lights an invisible path to the morning when "Everything here is an Elsewhere." Do not miss the chance to take this exhilarating journey.
—Christopher Merrill
"Hélène Cardona’s new translation confirms again her exquisite powers and imagination in turning Arnou-Laujeac’s amazing work into an English classic. She X-rays the original, and comes out with an inner picture faithful to beauty and the author’s flowing dexterity. Her singing flare illumines the English version, which is now the original. Discover Hélène's invitation to voyage."
