DREAMS, LANGUAGE and POETRY: Oct 25, 5-7 pm Alliance française de Pasadena

DREAMS, LANGUAGE and POETRY: a conversation with the trilingual poet, translator and actress HELENE CARDONA, on her latest book “Le Songe de mes Ames Animales/ Dreaming My Animal Selves.”

We will explore bridging languages and cultures and discuss literature, poetry, translation, theatre and cinema, dream work, and the quest for spirituality and expansion of consciousness.
Moderated by Dr. Michele Druon.

http://afdepasadena.org/events/2014/1...

DREAMING MY ANIMAL SELVES is an intriguingly surreal journey through myth, legend, fantasy, and more – all guided by a shape-shifting narrator searching far and wide for cosmic unity within the discontinuous landscape of dream and the dreamy, fragmented quality of the everyday world. The dual-language text ( Dreaming My Animal Selves/Le Songe de Mes Ames Animales by Helene Cardona English and French) works to heighten the narrator’s shifting perceptions, symbol by symbol, vision by vision.

In FRENCH and ENGLISH

DRINKS and SNACKS will be served after the presentation. Free for AF members and $10 for non-members

Fjords Review: A new excerpt from "Beyond Elsewhere" by Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac (White Pine Press, 2016), my translation from the French

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:
http://www.fjordsreview.com/monthly-f...

"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."
