Hélène Cardona Instagram – Happy Father’s Day to my dad José Manuel Cardona, the poet from Ibiza 💙
“Llegamos y el milagro se produjo.
Ha sido el mar y el viento en las campanas.
Veníamos de lejos, de los años
Sedientos como polvo, de las redes
De humildes pescadores en mar yerma.”
De “El Bosque de Birnam” (Consell Insular d’Eivissa, Ibiza, Spain)
“We arrived and the miracle happened.
It was the sea and the wind in the bells.
We came from far, from years
Thirsty as dust, from humble
fishermen’s nets on barren shore.”

Translated by Hélène Cardona (Birnam Wood / El Bosque de Birnam, Salmon Poetry)
One of the most impressive collections of poetry I’ve read in recent years. #ThomasMcCarthy #PoetryInternational
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. —José Manuel Cardona
