Personally and signed by the author, living legend, Patti Smith, directly to specially bound publisher's signature page. NOT inscribed to anyone. NOT. bookplate. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting!A radiant new memoir from artist and writer Patti Smith, author of the National Book Award winner Just Kids"God whispers through a crease in the wallpaper," writes Patti Smith in this moving account of her life. A post–World War II childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex where we enter the child's world of the imagination. Smith, the captain of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises, and searches for sacred silver pennies.The most intimate of Smith's memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative role models as she begins to write poetry then lyrics, ultimately merging both into the songs of iconic recordings such as Horses, Wave, and Easter.She leaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Here, she invents a room of her own, a low table, a Persian cup, inkwell and pen, entering at dawn to write. The couple spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps and charting new adventures as they start a family.A series of profound losses mark her life. Grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again—the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope. In the final pages, we meet Smith on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.

Known for her celebration of epic literary and artistic profiles, such as Blake and Rimbaud to name but a few, (“Mummer Love,” 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; “it is better to write / then die / a thousand prayers".
