Hélène Cardona Instagram – Being a Mentor in the Writer to Writer program was such a treat! Mentorships create bridges between writers. The search for fulfillment is a recurrent theme in my life. It’s the title of the thesis I wrote about Henry James. I’m happy as long as I can express myself through art, and I love to work. Whether writing or acting, I find myself in an exalted state of concentration and consciousness, like a meditation or trance. It’s as if time stops or expands, and I’m able to touch other worlds and keep a sense of connection with what is bigger than me.
The different languages inform my writing, consciously and unconsciously. All kinds of associations come to mind when I read or write. Translation is also a form of creation. Through translation, we bring cultures together. Becoming familiar with another culture transcends otherness.
It was such an enriching and transformative experience to mentor Laura Braverman. Read the full interview here: https://www.awpwriter.org/community_calendar/spotlight_view/cardona_braverman
