Congratulations to Etel Adnan who has been awarded this prize for “Time”, published by Night Boat Books and translated from French by Sarah Riggs. As well as being a successful artist, Etel Adnan is an accomplished writer, and in this collection of poems, each poem acts as a small measure of time, a moment in which the author presents us with a continuous discovery of the present.
