the beauty of impermanence (on Etel Adnan)
Canan "Ja'anan" Marasligil

Every other week, I take the time to reflect and offer a glimpse of how I see and feel the world through the lens of culture, art, translation, poetry and literature. Each issue has a short essay or some thoughts, a nerdy look at translation, a page from one of my notebooks, a list of things to read, watch or listen to, and a highlight from my archives.

Access all issues and subscribe on theattentionspan.com/subscribe.
