Offering: Patti Smith. A Book of Days. NYC: Random House, 2022. First edition. Near fine in like DJ. Signed by Smith on the half title. We all know about Patti: born December 30, 1946, in Chicago; multifaceted American artist renowned for her contributions to music, poetry, and visual arts. Emerging in the 1970s, she became a pivotal figure in the New York City punk rock movement with her debut album Horses. Beyond music, Smith's literary prowess is evident in her memoirs and poetry collections, earning her accolades like the National Book Award for Just Kids. (One of my all-time favs, btw). Her work often intertwines personal experiences with broader cultural and artistic themes, solidifying her status as a cultural icon. A Book of Days is Patti's 2022 visual memoir, inspired by her Instagram posts. The book features 366 photographs one for each day of the year, including leap day paired with brief reflections. These images range from personal moments to tributes to artists and thinkers like William Blake and Sylvia Plath. Smith's contemplative captions offer insights into her daily life and creative process, making the book a unique blend of diary, photo album, and artistic meditation. A poetic journey through a year in Patti Smith's life, A Book of Days invites readers into the intimate moments and inspirations of an iconic artist. And this one's signed!

This is not a book. The original booklet issued for a performance by Patti Smith titled "An Evening of Words and Song" and held at the Robert Miller Gallery, NYC, January 22, 2010. The booklet has been SIGNED BY SMITH on the inside, first page, below her printed name. The performance was held during the run of an exhibition titled "Objects of Life," a collaborative project between Smith and Steven Sebring, held at the same gallery, January 6 - February 6, 2010. We know of three such performances at the gallery for which a booklet was produced; all are different in content though the design is the same. This one reproduces a text piece titled "Reflecting Robert" along with two of her photographs of Mapplethorpe's hands and one of he and Smith together. Stiff cream card, machine-folded twice to 6 pages (c-fold); 8 x 10 inches. Condition: A couple of light traces of soiling to the covers, otherwise Fine. Laid-in is the gallery press release for the exhibition. Will be sandwiched securely between stiff layers of cardboard and shipped the next business day. International postage may be less than quoted.

Includes Introduction; Foreword; Photo Credits; Index; and Bibliography. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and full color photographs, plus illustrated front and rear endpapers. Signed by the author with thin dark blue pen on the first free front endpaper. "Larger than Madison Square Garden, as old as Chicago Stadium and boasting better sight-lines than Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, the St. Louis Arena never gained the national prominence of these famed entertainment venues. But, to the people of St. Louis who fondly knew the building as the Old Barn, the arena was the place where the memories of over four generations were formed. Oh, what memories they were. Two NHL franchises, three consecutive Stanley Cup finals, two minor league hockey franchises, two NHL All-Star games, Garry Unger's 662 consecutive games streak, Brett Hull's 87-goal season and the famed "Monday Night Miracle." And this was just hockey. Add a Basketball Association of America franchise, an ABA franchise, an NBA franchise, an NBA All-Star game, three professional indoor soccer franchises, and NCAA college hockey program and NCAA basketball championship games; toss in entertainers such as Luciano Pavarotti, Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen; throw in one of the greatest tennis matches in the history of the Davis Cup, and you have one of the premier entertainment venues of all time. Yet, it was not the "big time" events which made this a landmark building for St. Louisans. It was the local events, whether Boy and Girl Scout shows, youth hockey games or ice skating events, which made the building so special to thousands. On any given night, every boy and girl could watch Eddie Olson, Bob Pettit or Brett Hull, and on the next morning play on the same surface on which their heroes had starred. It was amazing that a building built before the advent of rock shows and televised sports could be adapted to handle even the largest events. Fire, tornadoes and financial difficulties could never change its nature. Triumphs and tragedies, the spectacular and the unspectacular all brought the people of St. Louis together to rejoice, to despair and to be amazed. The glazed brick and wooden timbers are history, but the memories of the St. Louis Arena will live in the hearts and minds of the people of St. Louis - forever!" - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Patti Smith Jackson earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia, then returned to St. Louis, where she was born and raised, to pursue a career in communications.
