Not very different from following Patti Smith on Instagram. However, hardcore fans of her might enjoy these brief images and short musings.

Amazing way to go through the year. Very interesting perspective. As always, such a nice way to see life with Patti.

This is the kind of book to dip into here and there, look up your favorite day, send a friend a birthday note. It’s funny and sad and thoughtful, a collection of vignettes from a curious, ever-active mind. A keeper.

Like most people, I keep a calendar to remind me of appointments and celebrations that fill the days. It's an inspiration to read through the days of the year as a record of the people and things that inspire this legendary artist. Something I can pick up over and over whenever I need some motivation to look beyond the to do list as well as reflect on what got me to where I am now.
At first I wasn't sure about this book (and that's a big thing when put in the context that Patti is my favourite famous person, ever) - but something happened as I looked and read through, page by page. I don't know how she does it. I wasn't engaged by every picture, but what I did engage with brought with it a kind of magic that made me appreicate the details of my own life, and of our world, and of all the different eyes looking at it. As with every book of Patti's I feel she's offered yet another piece of herself. What started with slight contempt ("is there really anything on here I couldn't have seen through her instagram?") turned into appreciation of a carefully crafted book that inspires countless new ideas.
