"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

Enter for a chance to win a signed copy of the new printing of Life in Suspension, called “a vivid self-portrait as scholar, seer and muse” by John Ashbery.
Life in Suspension is hailed as visionary by Richard Wilbur. It explores consciousness, the power of place, and ancestral roots. It is poetry of alchemy and healing, a gateway to the unconscious and the dream world.
Stephen Yenser calls Life in Suspension “a terrific and singular achievement,” and Joanne Harris declares it deeply spiritual, “a tour de force of language and phonetics.”
"This is poetry with layers of complexity made of lace — a magic carpet ride, not like anything else around."
—Grace Cavalieri, The Washington Independent Review of Books
"Extraordinary, magical, and poignant."
—Guy Sangster-Adams, The Cultural Pick
