"Originally published in 1986, Journey to Mount Tamalpais is at once a love letter and a deep study in prose and drawings of and to a mountain, a landscape, a geological presence, a place. With a career spanning decades, genres, and nations, Etel Adnan's contributions to the fields of poetry, painting, philosophy, and journalism are indelible. In Journey to Mount Tamalpais, her alchemical command of language is enhanced by the use of painting and drawing as exploratory tools to express that which lies beyond the reach of the written word. This volume remains one of her most beloved works and a stunning example of her marriage of the visual and literary arts. A prose essay written with the lyricism and precision of a master poet, Journey to Mount Tamalpais documents Adnan's encounter with the Mountain, as both its witness and its collaborator. This expanded second edition includes an afterword by Omar Berrada and nine new drawings by the author"--
