Do you know that The London Magazine is England’s oldest literary periodical? It was founded in 1732.

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."

a piece of white sail wrapped like second skin.”
