Etel Adnan: My Center is Not in the Solar System

‘My Center is Not in 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 previously unseen ink drawings from the 1960s. Co-published with Bidoun, this volume stands as both tribute and testament to an artist whose presence, like her words, continues to radiate.
