		Cardenal began by saying that despite being known for his anti-Americanism, he always distinguished between the government of the United States ("the Yankee government"), which has invaded many Central American countries on repeated occasions, and the people of the United States, who have always been in great solidarity with the cause of Latin American revolution.
		Cardenal said that his trip to the monastery had been "full of God" and that he found himself in a state of love; the trip was the equivalent of a honeymoon.
		In sum, it was an afternoon to remember, for Cardenal, beyond the tumult of the world, brought to the fore sweetness and tenderness from his life.

		Ernesto Cardenal’s poetry is so deeply engaged with the historical, political, and spiritual landscape of his life that biography and bibliography seem almost arbitrary distinctions.
		Priest, social activist, and the former Minister of Culture in Sandinista Nicaragua, Cardenal is the most urgent and eloquent voice in a country of poets and revolutionaries, a cultural icon whose life and writings have altered history.
		Over the length of his career, Cardenal has produced a kind of poetic history of his homeland, narrating the rise and destruction of successive waves of indigenous and colonial cultures in Latin America and recounting the events of the Sandinista revolution, including a fierce yet astonishingly generous critique of U.S. foreign policy.

		Cardenal was a close friend of the poet Miguel Otero Silva, one of the founders of the newspaper El Nacional.
		Cardenal's disagreement with Marta Sosa is important to note because it reflects the disaster that the chavista regime has created in Venezuela.

	The Soul of a Lost Cause
		But Father Ernesto Cardenal's fiery eloquence can't burn away this stubborn thought: that the Nicaraguan revolution, the cause that Cardenal served so devoutly, through so many years of sacrifice and spilled blood, is a ghost of its former self.
		Marxism, in Cardenal's view, was compatible with a God-given natural order — not the "dogmatic and metaphysical" Marxism of the Soviet Union, as he puts it in "The Lost Revolution," but the "flexible and pluralistic" Marxism of Nicaragua, which had grown organically from the heated soil of the country's volcanic inequalities.
		Cardenal's memoirs have little to say about other costly errors of the Sandinista regime, such as its forced relocation of the coastal Miskito Indians, for which it was roundly condemned.

		“Ernesto Cardenal continues the tradition of Pablo Neruda, who said, ‘all the pure poets will fall on their face in the snow.’ Cardenal’s poetry is impure, defiantly, in that it unites political ugliness and the beauty of imaginative vision.”--Robert Bly
