Join me in welcoming Hélène Cardona, poet, actor, translator, dream analyst, and linguist. Today's episode is a conversation and a beautiful reading from her Life in Suspension (Salmon Poetry), “a vivid self-portrait as scholar, seer and muse” as John Ashbery, tells us. Cardona is author of Dreaming My Animal Selves (Salmon Poetry), described by David Mason as “liminal, mystical and other-worldly,” adding, “this is a poet who writes in a rare light.” Hailed as visionary by Richard Wilbur, Cardona's luminous poetry explores consciousness, the power of place,and ancestral roots. It is poetry of alchemy and healing, a gateway to the unconscious and the dream world. For today's podcast, we look at Life In Suspension, but she has promised to be back and we will enjoy her reading from Dreaming My Animal Selves. Hélène has authored the translations The Abduction (Maram Al-Masri, White Pine Press), 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 (University of Iowa). She is the recipient of over 20 awards & honors, including the Independent Press Award, a Hemingway Grant and an Albertine and FACE Foundation Prize. Her work has been translated into 19 languages. She wrote her thesis on Henry James for her MA in American Literature from the Sorbonne, received fellowships from the Goethe-Institut and Universidad Internacional de Andalucía, worked as a translator/interpreter for the Canadian Embassy, and taught at Hamilton College and Loyola Marymount University. She is a member of the Parlement des écrivaines francophones. Enjoy!

Three poetry collections on the breakfast table today ... We begin with Stars Burn Regardless by Jean O'Brien and Moonlight: A Full Moon by  Louise C. Callaghan, both published by Salmon Poetry.  Of Jean's book Mark Roper has said 'These poems rise to their occasion, they are tough, tender, generous, passionate and deeply engaged — I cannot recommend Stars Burn Regardless highly enough.' Thomas McCarthy has written of Louise's book: 'Here is this marvellous poet of elegies and celebrations, seasons and servants, of boarding school and trundling foreign journeys. Louise C. Callaghan has a keen eye for detail and a poet's gifted ear.'And where is satire when you need it? Chris Agee's Trump Rant is a visceral response to Donald Trump,  'a combination of long-form radicalism and eclectic satire, startingly unique in its blend of aphorism, acuity and epic cultural imagining.' Brew up a big pot of tea or coffee, get the toast on and listen to what these poets have to say ....Intro/outro music: Colm Mac Con Iomaire, ‘Thou Shalt Not Carry' from The Hare's Corner, 2008, with thanks to Colm for permission to use it.Artwork by Freya SirrTo subscribe to Books for Breakfast go to your podcast provider of choice (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google etc) and search for the podcast then hit subscribe or follow, or simply click the appropriate button above. Support the show

The city of Dublin, with its ancient cobblestones, historic pubs, and legendary river Liffey, has been a source of inspiration for writers and poets for centuries. Though it might provide a creative buzz, modern city existence can often prove exhausting for the contemporary poet constantly bombarded with new sights, sounds, and smells, as well as the increasing pull of technology, with smartphone apps and messages vying for attention, offering new ways of interacting with the history of the city, or with imagined versions of it. Adam Wyeth's new experimental poetry collection about:blank (Salmon Poetry, 2021) takes the city of Dublin as its setting and depicts the pressures of contemporary urban life by expanding the poetic form to include a variety of genres and short forms: monologue, dialogue, and instructions for yoga poses. These narratives are interwoven to give readers a remarkable impression of contemporary human existence and the ways that human consciousness is shaped by myth, literary references, music, technology, and lived environments. Wyeth's clever and thought-provoking book of poetry—the title itself a reference to the message that appears in internet browser's address bar to indicate an empty web page—meditates on what it means to be a writer in an ever-changing world and touches on philosophical questions surrounding identity, selfhood, and the absurdity of existence.  B ridget English is a scholar of Irish literature and culture, modernism, and health humanities, based at the University of Illinois Chicago. She co-convenes the Irish Studies Seminar at the Newberry Library and is the Literature Representative for the American Conference for Irish Studies.

Sarah Clancy is a well-known poet, activist and commentator who works in community development in County Clare where she now lives. Sarah grew up in Galway immersed in the world of ponies and horses which led her to working all over Ireland and later in Australia and New Zealand. Although she dabbled in poetry in her youth, it wasn't until her 30s that she really found her poetic voice. And when she did, things really took off. It wasn't long before she was winning awards, performing on major stages and on radio. She also released 3 separate poetry collections, published by Lapwing Press and Salmon Poetry. During this same period Sarah delved deeper into the world of social justice, both through academia, and through community organising and campaigning. This is when I first met Sarah. I was running the SpunOut youth organisation which was based in Galway at the time. We ended up involved in different campaigns together and over the years I always found her to have one of the sharpest and most insightful minds I've ever encountered. This conversation covers a lot of ground and although it's a long one, it's worth going the distance and listening to the end, or perhaps in different sittings. In it, we talk about Sarah's early years, her travels, some of the campaigns she has been involved in, as well as her courageous and difficult personal journey of reporting the man who abused her. Sarah also talks about how poetry helped her navigate this particularly turbulent period, as well as discover an unexpected platform for social and political expression. I had a couple of minor issues with the online sound recording which resulted in me turning my microphone down but in general the quality should be okay. I'm working on improving the overall sound recording for remote recordings and appreciate your support and patience while I work on this. As always, your support in promoting, sharing, subscribing, rating and reviewing the podcast is hugely appreciated, especially as it helps get voices like Sarah's out into the world.

I am just fascinated by creative process, almost to the point of obsession, because making things whether it's visual art, textiles or writing is one of the most important things in my life. It makes me VERY happy.

So she can do it, and, which is fabulous for us, she can tell us how to do it too! Or actually, give us ways of finding out for ourselves.It took Anne 40 years to start writing and I am so glad she did the author of two wonderful poetry collections, with a third ‘Twenty-six Letters of a New Alphabet' forthcoming from Salmon Poetry later in 2021. Whether you feel that you have zero creativity, or are an established artist. Whatever sort of things you're interested in making or writing, this episode will improve your life.Anne tells us:How to manage our fears around creative processHow to manage the inner critics that stop or limit our creativityAnne's journey with her creative processHow to find your voiceDeveloping confidence and feeling our work is good-enoughWhy women especially struggle with creative confidenceThe magic of building a tribe to support your creative processHow creativity is an essential part of being human and how if it's  blocked it impacts the rest of our livesThe ingredients for a vibrant creative processThe value of making mistakesThe value of an intermediary to protect the creatorHow to make the time for the magic to happenWhat to do if you don't know what medium to useHow to square our creativity with financial returnsAlong with a side helping of Anne's best tip of a vibrant creative life.Anne's coaching websiteAnd the poetry can be found hereI'd love to hear your thoughts on the topics we discuss, you can message me through Instagram or have a look at my website where you'll find a wealth of free resources.You will find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes and many more platforms soon.

Anne Casey is a poet and author who writes about grief and loss for home and family.Her work is deeply personal yet strikes a universal chord with many of us who had experienced the loss of our home or the grief we feel because of a loved one who's died. The power and joy in Anne's writing springs forth from how she finds ways to celebrate the wonder, beauty and hope in our lives, where we live them and who we go through this journey with.Her 2017 poetry collection "where the lost things go" (published by Salmon Poetry) explores these themes with great sensitivity and depth, beginning with the 15-part "In Memoriam".Having the opportunity to talk to Anne, who, like me, hails from Ireland, was so special. Reading Anne's poetry brought about a great realisation for me. Since moving to Sydney from Dublin in 1988 I have been searching for a language or way to understand my feelings of being a child of one country's history and a man of another country's future.This is a tension I've struggled my whole teenage and adult life to come to terms with. Reading Anne's work and then having the opportunity to talk with her has helped me find some clarity and understanding about these emotions I've been feeling since I was a skinny and pale 11 year old boy with a funny accent having just landed in a multicultural sunburnt land.I'm coming to find peace with the idea I may never fully resolve these two sides to my life. Being Irish and being Australian, I am really blessed and fortunate beyond belief.Anne is a thoughtful writer who is able, with great delicacy, warmth and empathy, convey emotion and experience we can all find something of ourselves in.Later this month Anne will be in Ireland for the launch of her second collection of poems, "out of emptied cups" kicking off on ​​Saturday, 6 July @ 7 pm: at The Salmon Bookshop & Literary Centre, Ennistymon, Co. Clare.Then in August Anne will be back in Australia to begin a series of readings to launch the book here.You can find all the details on her website www.anne-casey.com - go straight to the Readings and Events page for all the details about where you can go and see Anne for one of these events.The Irish Times:• The real enemy in writing• I barely recognise my hometown• The Lock Up• Marked women, unmarked graves• Metaphoric Rise• Christmas kisses• Would you ever think of coming home?Thanks to:eight and a half for “Piece by Piece” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U_MC4mabNMTara Ward for the art and design – http://www.tarawardphotography.com.au/Podcast homepage – https://widtaabbqs.home.blog/

In addition to writing poetry, Cardona is an actor, translator, teacher, and dream analyst. She is the author of the just released, bilingual poetry collection Dreaming My Animal Selves, as well as The Astonished Universe and Life in Suspension. Of Cardona’s Dreaming My Animal Selves, Jean Houston says, “In this extraordinary volume of soul crafted poetry, words become wands to enchant and evoke our better selves.” FitzGerald, in addition to writing poetry, is a novelist, editor, and lawyer. He is the author  of Telling Time by the Shadows; The Mind; and the novel in verse, Spring Water, which was a Turning Point Books prize selection in 2005. His fourth collection, Favorite Bedtime Stories, is forthcoming from Salmon Poetry in 2014. Robert Nazarene says that FitzGerald’s Spring Water is “to poetry what The Silence of the Lambs is to filmdom: a harrowing, narrative trip that makes for an absolutely compelling read...brilliantly delivered by one of America's most promising new poets."
