"Birds of Iraq" is a particularly interesting poem, weaving the United States' bombing of Baghdad with biographical details of Virginia Woolf. The book's title comes from William Blake's same-titled poem, and Smith includes a couplet from Blake's poem as an epigraph: "A skylark wounded in the wing, / A cherubim does cease to sing." "[Patti Smith's] influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times." . Signed by Author.

Overall, an excellent signed copy of Smith's universally acclaimed memoir. Just Kids documents the relationship between singer-songwriter Patti Smith and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who together played a major role in shaping the underground art and punk rock movements in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to being Smith's roommate and lover, Mapplethorpe photographed her and those iconic images later became the covers to her music albums. The memoir chronicles their childhoods, first encounters in New York, romantic relationship, tenure at the Chelsea Hotel, and their artistic endeavors that stemmed from their mutual inspiration. According to Janet Maslin's New York Times review, the title Just Kids refers to a moment in Washington Square Park in 1967 when a couple saw Smith and Mapplethorpe. While the woman thought that they "looked like artists," her husband brushed the comment off, saying that they were "just kids.". Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover.
