From "El Recuerdo" in the magnificent Summer Issue of The Passionate Transitory:
"My grandmother offered me a unique and plain cookie
of the kind I still haven’t encountered anywhere else
and uttered the magic word, galleta.
That is the first word I learned with her.
We watched a game on TV, el juego de la oca,
and these became the next words.
This is how, enveloped in unconditional love,
I discovered the language of Cervantes
and of God, as it is called."

Fabulous review of LIFE IN SUSPENSION in The Washington Independent Review of Books
Delighted and deeply grateful to
Grace Cavalieri for her fabulous review of LIFE IN SUSPENSION (Salmon Poetry, 2016) in The Washington Independent Review of Books:
"Cardona distills minutes and crystallizes images...This is poetry with layers of complexity made of lace — a magic carpet ride, not like anything else around."
