As skilled a philosopher as she is a poet, in \u003ci\u003eSea \u0026amp; Fog\u003c\/i\u003e, Adnan weaves multiple sonic, theoretical, and syntactic pleasures at once.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEtel Adnan\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1925. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, U.C. Berkeley, and at Harvard, and taught at Dominican College in San Rafael, California, from 1958-1972. In solidarity with the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), Adnan began to resist the political implications of writing in French and became a painter. Then, through her participation in the movement against the Vietnam War (1959-1975), she began to write poetry and became, in her words, \"an American poet.\" In 1972, she returned to Beirut and worked as cultural editor for two daily newspapers--first for \u003ci\u003eAl Safa\u003c\/i\u003e, then for \u003ci\u003eL'Orient le Jour\u003c\/i\u003e. Her novel \u003ci\u003eSitt Marie-Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, published in Paris in 1977, won the France-Pays Arabes Award and has been translated into more than ten languages. In 1977, Adnan re-established herself in California, making Sausalito her home, with frequent stays in Paris. Adnan is the author of more than a dozen books in English, including \u003ci\u003eJourney to Mount Tamalpais\u003c\/i\u003e (1986), \u003ci\u003eThe Arab Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e (1989), \u003ci\u003eIn the Heart of the Heart of Another Country\u003c\/i\u003e (2005), and \u003ci\u003eSea and Fog\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Poetry and the California Book Award for Poetry. In 2014, she was awarded one of France's highest cultural honors: l'Ordre de Chevalier des Arts et Lettres. Many of her poems have been put to music by Tania Leon, Henry Treadgill, Gavin Bryars, Zad Moultaka, Annea Lockwood, and Bun Ching Lam. Her paintings have been widely exhibited, including Documenta 13, the 2014 Whitney Biennial, CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, The New Museum, and Museum der Moderne Salzburg.
