Born into an upper-class family in Granada, Nicaragua, Cardenal is a first cousin of the poet Pablo Antonio Cuadra. Cardenal studied literature first in Managua and from 1942 to 1946 in Mexico. Later, from 1947 to 1949, he continued his studies in New York and traveled through Italy, Spain and Switzerland between 1949 and 1950.

In July 1950, he returned to Nicaragua, where he participated in the 1954 'April Revolution' against Anastasio Somoza García's regime. The coup d'état failed and ended with the deaths of many of his associates. Cardenal subsequently entered the TrappistMonastery of Gethsemani (Kentucky, United States), under the other poet-priest Thomas Merton, but in 1959 he left to study theology in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Cardenal was ordained a Catholic priest in 1965 in Granada.[1] He went to the Solentiname Islands where he founded a Christian, almost monastic, mainly peasant community, which eventually led to the founding of the artists' colony. It was there that the famous book El Evangelio de Solentiname ('The Gospel of Solentiname') was written. Cardenal collaborated closely with the leftistFrente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (Sandinista National Liberation Front, or FSLN), in working to overthrow Anastasio Somoza Debayle's régime.

Many members of the community of Solentiname engaged with the process of the Revolution, in the guerrilla warfare that the FSLN had developed to strike at the regime. 1977 was a crucial year to Cardenal's community since Somoza's National Guard, as a result from an attack to the headquarters stationed in the city of San Carlos, a few miles from the community, raided Solentiname and burned it to the ground, with Cardenal fleeing to Costa Rica.

On 19 July 1979, immediately after the Liberation of Managua, he was named Minister of Culture by the new Sandinista regime. He campaigned for a 'revolution without vengeance'[2] His brother Fernando Cardenal, also a Catholic priest (in the Jesuit order), was appointed Minister of Education. When Pope John Paul II visited Nicaragua in 1983, he openly scolded Ernesto Cardenal, who knelt before him, on the Managua airport runway, for resisting his order to resign from the government. The Pope admonished Cardenal: Usted tiene que arreglar sus asuntos con la Iglesia ('You must fix your affairs with the Church'). Cardenal remained minister of Culture until 1987, when his ministry was closed due to economic reasons.

Cardenal left the FSLN in 1994, protesting the authoritarian direction of the party under Daniel Ortega but insists that he has retained his leftist opinions. He is a member of the Movimiento de Renovación Sandinista (Sandinist Renovation Movement, MRS) that participated in the 2006 Nicaraguan General Elections. Days before the election, Cardenal stated, in a clear reference to his dispute with Ortega, that 'I think it would be more desirable an authentic capitalism, as Montealegre's (Eduardo Montealegre, the presidential candidate for Alianza Liberal Nicaragüense) would be, than a false Revolution'.[3]

He is also a member of the board of advisers of the pan-Latin American TV station teleSUR.

Cardenal has been for a long time a polemical figure of Nicaragua's literature and cultural history. He has been described as 'the most important poet right now in Latin America',[4] politically and poetically, he has been a very vocal figure of Nicaragua, and a valid key to analyze and understand the contemporaneous literary and cultural life of Nicaragua. He participated in the Stock Exchange of Visions project in 2007.

During a short visit to India he came in touch with a group of writers called the Hungry generation, which had a profound influence on them.

AbstractThis article examines the social dimensions of Ernesto Cardenal's early lyric poetry. Both the secular erotic text Epigramas, and the religious monastic work Gethsemani KY imagine a dualism between the enclosure created by sincere expressions of erotic love and the agora created by the corrupt materialism of the Somoza regime and modernity as a whole. I argue that Cardenal's mapping of a dualism between pure enclosure and corrupt agora derives from the conception of the artist in literary modernismo and represents an ingenious alternative form of social criticism that brings together intimate, collective and moral realities.
