Woolgathering
Woolgathering | Patti Smith
7 posts | 11 read | 15 to read
In this small, luminous memoir, the National Book Award-winner Patti Smith revisits the most sacred experiences of her early years, with truths so vivid they border on the surreal. The author entwines her childhood self - and its 'clear, unspeakable joy' - with memories both real and envisioned from her twenties on New York's MacDougal Street, the street of cafs. Woolgathering was completed in Michigan, on Patti Smith's 45th birthday and originally published in a slim volume from Raymond Foye's Hanuman Books. Twenty years later, Bloomsbury is proud to present it in a much augmented edition, featuring writing that was omitted from the book's first printing, along with new photographs and illustrations.

Day24 #riotgrams #tinybooks. My most prized tiny book - a Hanuman Books original edition of Woolgathering. This one was signed by Patti Smith at Central Park Summer Stage in 1994.

You may have too many books when you don't even know you have TWO signed Patti Smith books. I'm not worthy.

I've been lucky enough to have been seeing Patti Smith in person as an author, poet, musician, and all around amazing storyteller for the last 39 years. I am lucky enough to be going to see her again in December. #signedsundays
