Patti Smith Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

A radiant new memoir from beloved artist and writer Patti Smith, this indelible account of her life as an artist unfolds in a post-Second World War childhood within a condemned housing complex, described in vivid detail. Smith invites us into her imaginative world as she navigates a childhood filled with consumptive children, vanishing neighbors, and a beguiling book of Irish fairytales. As the captain of her loyal sibling army, she vanquishes bullies and communes with the king of tortoises while searching for sacred silver pennies. This memoir captures her teenage years, where the first glimmers of art and romance emerge. Influenced by creative heroes like Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan, she begins writing poetry and lyrics, leading to iconic songs such as "Dancing Barefoot" and "Because the Night." After marrying her true love, Fred Sonic Smith, she creates a life of devotion in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, surrounded by nature. Smith builds a personal sanctuary, where she and her husband spend nights charting new adventures while starting a family. As she faces profound losses, grief and gratitude intertwine in her journey of caring for her children and reclaiming her artistic voice. Ultimately, we meet Patti as a vagabond, traveling to commune with herself, living to write and writing to live.

Patti Smiths persönlichstes Buch – poetisch, fesselnd und ein Muss für alle Fans Nach ihrem Welterfolg »Just Kids« gibt uns Patti Smith in diesem neuen Memoir einen zutiefst persönlichen Einblick in ein einzigartiges Leben, das von Anfang an der Kunst und Liebe gehörte. Beginnend mit ihrer Kindheit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, betreten wir Patti Smiths ganz eigene Welt, beschrieben in poetischen, lebhaften Szenen und Details. Sie bietet uns intime Einblicke in ihre Teenagerjahre, in die Beziehung zu ihren Eltern, in die ersten Ausflüge in die Kunst und die verwirrende Intensität der Liebe. Im Schreiben findet sie schließlich Halt, getrieben von dem Bedürfnis, das Alltägliche in das Schöne, das Gewöhnliche in das Magische und den Schmerz in Hoffnung zu verwandeln. »Bread of Angels« ist das Zeugnis einer einzigartigen Künstlerin über ihre Lebensaufgabe, ihre Berufung und den Glauben an die unendliche Macht der Sprache.

Outside of writing, she enjoys traveling and cherishes moments with her six exceptional children.

Nur auf den ersten Blick irritierend: Wie bei seinen schwarzweißen Akten und Portraits ging es Mapplethorpe auch bei den Blumen um die perfekt stilisierte Pose, die absolute Klarheit der Komposition und das erotische Drama.

Osobitá a dojemná kniha od autorky Just Kids a M Train obsahuje 365 fotografií a zamyšlení, které dokládají jedinečnou estetiku Patti Smith. Inspirací pro toto dílo byl autorčin populární profil na Instagramu, kde v roce 2018 zveřejnila svůj první snímek s krátkým vzkazem: "Zdravím všechny." Patti, dříve fotografující na polaroid, začala přidávat mobilní fotky dětí, topení, bot, nebo své kočky Cairo. Sledující propadli těmto miniaturním vhledům do jejího světa, zahrnujícím záběry kávy, rozečtených knih, hudebních turné, železničních stanic a náhrobků jejích hrdinů - Williama Blakea, Dylana Thomase, Sylvie Plathové a dalších. Postupně se tak vytvořil ucelený příběh o životě zasvěceném umění, který přitáhl více než milion sledujících. Kniha zahrnuje také unikátní staré fotografie, jako jsou perly k výročí, matčina klíčenka či manželova kytara Mosrite. Patti Smith má vždy po ruce notes, aby čtenářům poskytla zprávy o svých cestách. Tento sborník 365 fotografií nabízí jedinečný pohled do velké mysli vizionářky, básnířky a umělkyně, plný naděje, žalu a hravosti, a může být inspirativním dílem pro dnešní nejistou dobu.
