**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** A deeply moving and brilliantly
idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book
Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images
chart Smith’s singular aesthetic - inspired by her wildly popular
Instagram In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen
next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with
the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with
her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her
phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and
her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity
with these miniature windows into Smith’s world, photographs of
her daily coffee, the books she’s reading, the graves of beloved
heroes - William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil,
Albert Camus. Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art
took shape, and more than a million followers responded to
Smith’s unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions,
devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage
photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother’s keychain, and a
husband’s Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are never-before-seen photos
of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a
notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily
notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the
world. With 365 photographs, taking you through a single year, A
Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the
visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful -
and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her
documentary process - A Book of Days is a timeless offering for
deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist’s life.
