Life in Suspension reviewed by J.C. Hallman in The Brooklyn Rail

A Poet is a Mood: Life in Suspension reviewed by J.C. Hallman in The Brooklyn Rail

"The

Life in Suspension La Vie Suspendue by Helene Cardona

dual-language aspect of this surprising volume, which just as often will have you thinking of Rumi and Rilke and Neruda, offers a unique archaeology-style pleasure of penetrating a psychic poetic cavity that generally remains undisturbed... And… you remember being with the poet for these moments stolen from an unlikely life."

http://www.brooklynrail.org/2016/12/b...

"But Cardona is different, I think, and [her] dissertation on James is the clue. In both letters and fiction, James asserted that all the arts are one, and what he meant was that a novel can aspire to do what the gigantic Tintorettos in the Louvre do. In short, we should no sooner segregate media than people....[These poems] compile to form the chronicle of a traveler, without fixed language, without fixed nationality or profession, moving physically from Bar Harbor to Chalkidiki (it’s Greece), and emotionally from the calm of floating alone on a lake to the inner hurricane of watching a loved one slip from this world to the next. En route, there are these poetic hesitations, the vibrancy of life trapped in amber."

Birnam Wood reviewed in The Los Angeles Review

Birnam Wood is a spell-binding, spell-bound book. José Manuel Cardona was one of many Spanish intellectuals exiled by the Franco government, and the poems reflect the anguish and longings of the exile, embodied most powerfully in the figure of Odysseus.

"Such yearning towards the divine in Cardona’s poetic voice is reinforced by a proclivity towards enchantment and mysticism."
