"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
"Life in Suspension is a terrific and singular achievement. Very few poets I know could accomplish anything like it, let alone with such grace and clarity." —Stephen Yenser
"A tour de force of language and phonetics. Hélène Cardona’s pen moves from the human to the divine and back in a single sentence, and the result is uplifting and
magical." —Joanne Harris
