"A wonderfully lyric, mesmerizing poetic meditation on desire, love, the soul, and spirituality. Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac's poems are psychotropic — a beautiful new voice in poetry." —Victoria Chang

"A dazzling hymn to the currents of desire that shape each individual life... Do not miss the chance to take this exhilarating journey." —Christopher Merrill

"Hélène Cardona’s new translation confirms again her exquisite powers and imagination in turning Arnou-Laujeac’s amazing work into an English classic."
—Willis Barnstone

"Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac's intensely visual account, clothed in lyrical image and visionary flame, in Hélène Cardona's transcendent translation, easily carries us along in his brightly burning chariot in quest of the Divine.”
—Sidney Wade

"In years, I have not read a poetry more expansive, gripping, and beautiful for the true music of language. I have been enthusiastically revitalized by the recent encounter with the poetry of José Manual Cardona, masterfully translated by his daughter, poet Hélène Cardona. In her hands, Birnam Wood sings to us in a rendering that is lush and passionate." —Rustin Larson, The Iowa Source

"Birnam Wood" (Salmon Poetry), my translation from Spanish of "El Bosque de Birnam" (Consell Insular d'Eivissa, Ibiza, Spain) by José Manuel Cardona, is in World Literature Today’s 75 Notable Translations of 2018!
