Of Cities & Women (Letters To Fawwaz) Holly Pester translation David Hinton

translation David Hinton

and giving what you don’t have

the poems also offer the hope of forging new paths through the connecting power of language

Would the seams afford a new sensibility around the pronoun "you"

Of Cities & Women (Letters To Fawwaz) Holly Pester translation David HintonEtel Adnan In these letters, written to Fawwaz Traboulsi, sent from Barcelona, Aix en Provence, Skopelos, Murcia, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, and Beirut in lieu of an essay on feminism for a special issue of his magazine Zawaya on Arab Women, Etel Adnan unfolds startling meditations on gender, place, culture, landscape, vision, eros, illness, mortality, and war. Of Cities and Women is a philosophical and poetic tour de force.
