[L to R]Black coat with handkerchief/ Black coat without its peakThe concept is undoubtedly only something the Patti Smith can get away with, but beautiful nonetheless: each image and accompanying annotation is steeped in succinct but breathtaking observations of her surroundings and observances for idols and inspirations such as Arthur Rimbaud, Sylvia Plath, and Dylan Thomas; offering poetic, principled glimpses into the artist's brilliant, near-encyclopaedic mind. Through these we gain windows into her passions, her playful documentary process, and her past—sometimes even thepast, if through her eyes.
