'Etel. Her name has a talismanic quality. We heard about her in California, met her in Beirut, ate ice cream with her in Paris. [...] We wrote down everything she said because it had the feel/cadence/glow of sacred wisdom.'
My Center is Not The Solar System is a sweeping and tender collection of essays on the life and work of the late Lebanese poet and painter Etel Adnan, whose art bore witness to so many of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries' epochal shifts. In ever-evolving and experimental forms, the book gathers reflections from friends, collaborators, and admirers, alongside a selection of Adnan's final, previously unpublished watercolour paintings. Co-published with Bidoun, this volume stands as both tribute and testament to an artist whose presence, like her words, continues to radiate.
