Winner 2019 Best Book Award, Readers' Favorite Book Award, Pinnacle Book Award, 2018 Julie Suk Honor. Finalist 2019 Eric Hoffer Awards and International Book AwardsBirnam Wood is one of the most impressive collections of poetry I've read in recent years. It is a work that can sit easily beside Seferis's great poems of exile and return, or beside Elytis's gigantic sequence of the Albanian campaign. This...
From the Author
"One never loses one's roots, even when living abroad. My real homeland has been Ibiza and I have always maintained bonds with it, like my friendship with the poet Marià Villangómez."
From the Back Cover
Birnam Wood embodies the self in the world of myth with its attendant themes of tragedy and fate. If the water of exile is longing, the cup brims over in these sun-shattered works of diaspora. Cardona is an essential twentieth-century Spanish poet. His poems journey toward an ever-receding home. --Marsha de la O, author of Antidote for Night, winner of the Isabella Gardner Poetry Prize ...

Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "These are poems of solid classical diction, keenly aware of the rich traditions that precede it, where mythology, travel and personal memory represent starting points for erotic and metaphysical reflection." -Andres Neuman"It's possible things are not/ as we wished them to be," Jose Manuel Cardona writes in Birnam Wood, a superb account of his travels around the world in the service of poetry. Exploring the consequences of the fact that "Only man is capable of destroying/ what he never created/ and he along believes belong to him," he creates a rival system of belief, which depends upon his vivid imagery, sophisticated ear, and wisdom borne of experience, all of which his daughter, Helene, a gifted poet in her own right, has gracefully preserved in her translations. This selection of his poems, spanning the length of an illustrious career, are everything we might wish them to be.-Christopher Merrillauthor of Self-Portrait with DogwoodBirnam Wood embodies the self in the world of myth with its attendant themes of tragedy and fate. If the water of exile is longing, the cup brims over in these sun-shattered works of diaspora. Cardona is an essential twentieth-century Spanish poet. His poems journey toward an ever-receding home. -Marsha de la Oauthor of Antidote for the NightThe lush and mystical poetry of Jose Manuel Cardona's Birnam Wood is firmly rooted in the world of classical mythology as a means of articulating what is human and timeless. -Blas Falconerauthor of The Foundling WheelFrom the ghostly amphora that languish at sea bottom "like soft fish that escaped/ the potter's greedy love" to the impulse "to tell how yesterday's solitude was", Helene Cardona's translations are revelations of language and image, a voice dipped in clear water and wrung through her careful hands. -Dorianne Lauxauthor of The Book of Men A bilingual English-Spanish edition of Spanish poet Jose Manuel Cardona.
