A Dream to Be Continued by Hélène Cardona
March, 2022. A Poem A Month From Conestoga Zen:
Hélène Cardona
A Dream to Be Continued
She lives in a fortress
at the top of the mountain
The back of her land
is the shore of the lake
The gatekeeper to whom she has to answer says,
When the weather is entirely seductive
take the sun under the water
live in the dream
and this world at the same time.
Hélène Cardona’s books include Life in Suspension and Dreaming My Animal Selves (both from Salmon Poetry) and the translations Birnam Wood (José Manuel Cardona, Salmon Poetry) , Beyond Elsewhere (Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac, White Pine Press), Ce que nous portons (Dorianne Laux, Éditions du Cygne), and Walt Whitman’s Civil War Writings for WhitmanWeb . Her work has been translated into 16 languages. The recipient of over 20 honors & awards, including the Independent Press Award, International Book Award and Hemingway Grant, she holds an MA in American Literature from the Sorbonne, worked as a translator for the Canadian Embassy, and taught at Hamilton College and Loyola Marymount University.
