Review of Life in Suspension by Anthony DiMatteo in The Los Angeles Review
Review of Life in Suspension by Anthony DiMatteo in The Los Angeles Review:
"Cardona creates semantic nuances that light up in multiple directions, while her writing pays close heed to the base level of syntax, rhythm, line and sentence. A tender, pensile world that merits repeated line by line explorations

Hélène Cardona conceives poetry as « a gesture, a movement, an opening towards a greater truth or understanding ».

Life in Suspension reviewed by Alison Williams in Poetry International
Hélène Cardona’s poems in Life in Suspension / La Vie Suspendue reflect a linguistic spiritual transcendence that is illuminated on every page. —Alison Williams, Poetry International
http://poetryinternationalonline.com/...
Cardona’s language is descended from the great mystics, with words and phrases plucked directly from the natural world, like an arm reaching to grasp a leaf floating in the air. In speaking of her grandfather in the poem “Stone,” she writes “we have the same ear for reading / the bones in the wind / and breaking down the sun.”

Life in Suspension reviewed in At the Inkwell:
"so
luminous and fanciful that you can stumble around for hours within it, lose track of time almost, and fall out the other end feeling lighter and like you just traveled to another time and place."

"Read this book if you want to experience straightforward beauty."
