Woolgathering 1er édition
Patti Smith
The National Book Award?winner Patti Smith presents a treasure box of a childhood memoir about ?clear unspeakable joy? and ?just the wish to know.?
A great book about becoming an artist, Woolgathering tells of a youngster finding herself as she learns the noble vocation of woolgathering, ?a worthy calling that seemed a good job for me.? She discovers?often at night, often in nature?the pleasures of rescuing ?a fleeting thought.? Deeply moving, Wool- gathering calls up our own memories, as the child ?glimpses and gleans, piecing together a crazy quilt of truths.? Smith introduces us to her tribe, ?a race of cloud dwellers,? and to the fierce, vital pleasures of cloud watching and stargazing and wandering.
A radiant new autobiographical piece, ?Two Worlds? (which was not in the original 1992 Hanuman edition of Woolgathering), and the author?s photographs and illustrations are also included. Woolgathering celebrates the sacred nature of creation with Smith?s beautiful style, acclaimed as ?glorious? (NPR), ?spellbinding? (Booklist), ?rare and ferocious? (Salon), and ?shockingly beautiful? (New York Magazine). Black-and-white illustrations
