Description
Poetry. Translated from the French by Simone Fattal, Etel Adnan and Cole Swensen. "This book aims at being a kind of manual allowing one to follow the weft of thinking, its natural and necessary development—when the simple and urgent question is asked: What has become of life today? This question is an obligation. How not to answer to oneself immediately, how not to acknowledge the present existence, its hesitation between faith and anxiety, wonder and renunciation?"—Etel Adnan
