Woolgathering by Patti Smith
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Year: 2012
Format: Hardback
Edition: 1st
Condition: New
In this small, luminous memoir, Patti Smith revisits the most sacred experiences of her early years (often bordering on the surreal), entwining 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 cafés.
Woolgathering was completed in Michigan, on Patti Smith's 45th birthday and originally published in a slim volume from Hanuman Books. Twenty years later, Bloomsbury re-presented an augmented edition, featuring writing that was omitted from the book's first printing, along with new photographs and illustrations.
