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

New York: Ecco, 2005 First edition, first printing. Signed by Smith on title page. Publisher's white cloth, with Smith's initials and publisher imprint in blind to front board, and spine lettered in gilt; in its original gray dust jacket designed by High Design, with a Polaroid photo of two cherub friezes to front panel, lettered in white, black, and red. Fine book; fine unclipped dust jacket. Overall, a pristine copy. Patti Smith's first poetry collection in more than ten years, Auguries of Innocence contains poems including "The Lovecrafter," "Sleep of the Dodo," "The Long Road," "Birds of Iraq," "The Geometry Blinked Ruin Unimaginable," and "Mummer Love." "Birds of Iraq" is a particularly interesting poem, weaving the United States' bombing of Baghdad with biographical details of Virginia Woolf. The book's title comes from William Blake's same-titled poem, and Smith includes a couplet from Blake's poem as an epigraph: "A skylark wounded in the wing, / A cherubim does cease to sing." "[Patti Smith's] influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times." . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
