In a tribute to acclaimed Lebanese poet and painter Etel Adnan---well-known for her internationally-renowned novel of the Lebanese civil war, Sitt Marie Rose, and the recent long prose-poem, There---Steve Dickison and Simone Fattal read from her work. Dickison reads from her memoir, Growing Up to Be a Woman Writer in Lebanon, and Simone Fattal, Adnan's publisher from Post-Apollo Press, reads from The Indian Never had a Horse. The readings are followed by a sound recording of "The Adnan Songbook," eight of Etel Adnan's poems set to music by British composer Gavin Bryars. Steve Dickison moderates the event, and introduces the co-reader, Lebanese novelist Rabih Alameddine.
