"Life in Suspension is a love song, a hymn to goodness and beauty."
—La Cause Littéraire
This is a collection of poetry to be savored slowly and enjoyed again and again.
—Readers' Favorite, 5 Star Review
"Dappled with transparent imagery, like the Mediterranean sunlight she grew up with, Hélène Cardona's poems offer a vivid self-portrait as scholar, seer and muse."
—John Ashbery, winner of the PulitzerPrize, National Book Award, Griffin International Poetry Prize, MacArthur "Genius" Grant, and a National Humanities Medal
In this bilingual edition of her poems Hélène Cardona is our contemporary ecstatic, time-traveler, and shape-shifter. Behind the dreamlike atmosphere of her poems lies a fierce will to discover beauty, to resurrect ancient enchantments, and to defend enigmas of the spirit. "I like transforming into an animal, / devouring who I was," she writes. Her luminous poems celebrate the imagination's power to dignify and exalt our highest yearnings.
—Lee Upton, winner of a Pushcart Prize, National Poetry Series Award, and two awards from the Poetry Society of America

"Thank you to the thousands of authors and publishers who participated in our 14th annual Best Book Awards. Every year brings incredible entries from all of the world.

—Jeffrey Keen, President & CEO, American Book Fest
"Hélène Cardona has delivered to us a book in which she celebrates the magic of parallel worlds. Two languages, two persons, one testimony. Not so much a disclosure of truth, as much as the revelation of doubt. What sways above the emptiness is a life lived in complete awe. Cardona balances over a cosmos of fragments. The sparkling, the reflections do not throw back a perfect mirror image. Lives are shared, not possessed. The result is a song for the acceptance of doubleness, pluralism. Hélène Cardona provides synthesis for what is inevitably separated."

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."
Elizabeth Cohen reviews Life in Suspension / La Vie Suspendue in At the Inkwell: https://attheinkwell.com/la-vie-suspe...
"Read this book if you want to experience straightforward beauty."
