Of Cities & Women (Letters To Fawwaz) Holly Pester for poetry to speakEtel 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.
