New Haven: Yale University Press.2017. 4to. Original publisher's red cloth with black lettering to spine; black and white photographic dust jacket; pp. [xiv], 93, [7]; fine. Signed first edition. Devotion is a unique and candid portrait of an artist's creative process; an intimate insight into the lineage of inspiraiton. From Simone Weil's grave in London to the South of France and the residence of Albert Camus, Patti Smith takes us, not only on a geographical odyssey, but also a tangential journey through the mind of a writer whilst asking what ingredients it takes to create a piece of work that can be considered 'timeless'. As Smith asks the reader, "Why is one compelled to write? To set oneself apart, cocooned, rapt in solitude, despite the wants of others. Virginia Woolf had her room. Proust his shuttered windows. Marguerite Duras her muted house. Dylan Thomas his modest shed. All seeking an emptiness to imbue with words. The words that will penetrate virgin territory,, crack unclaimed combinations, articulate the infinite".

First edition, signed by Patti Smith. In the summer of 2005, Patti Smith curated the Meltdown Festival at the Royal Festival Hall in London, during which she performed her first album Horses in full for the first time. The live performance was later released under Horses, Horses. Auguries of Innocence followed this success; the first book from Patti Smith in over a decade. Known for her celebration of epic literary and artistic profiles, such as Blake and Rimbaud to name but a few, (âMummer Love,â is a prose poem that brings to life her muse Arthur Rimbaud), the author of Auguries of Innocence is described in the blurb as a "poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics". As she writes of the beautiful weight and universal resonance of poetry; âit is better to write / then die / a thousand prayers".

New York:: Ecco Press,, 2010.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket.. This copy is signed Patti Smith. It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame.
