Review Quote: “This is the vision of an artist who has seen and
thought much, and whose concern for the universe of which she
counts herself a citizen runs deep… Sea and Fog concerns itself
with universal forces, refusing to shy away from the most tragic
repeating cycles of human nature: departure, death, war, and love.
Hope, in its conventional form, may not be present in these pages,
but deep understanding that may lead us there—that, perhaps, we may
read into the endless motion of Adnan’s fog-fringed sea.”—Lambda
Literary Review
“Etel Adnan sharpens the starkness of the world of matter and
anti-matter. These texts are psalms that stretch from the sublime
to the violent, journey from Yosemite Valley to a soldier’s jeep in
the desert, and gather from Dostoevsky to Scalapino. A history, a
gospel, a prayer book, it dwells in the divine.”—Elmaz Abinader
