this is going to be more of a mini review as it’s a very short book with little writing in it. i loved this idea of the combination of visual art & literature, especially his it portrays social media in a positive light. i know social media has really spiralled into a chaotic organism of trends & beauty standards but i believe this book exhibits what apps like instagram was purely designed for, expressing yourself through photos. seeing the travels & inspirations of Smith’s life rather than imagining it is such an eye opener into who she truly is, as well as the person who has written such wonderful books & songs. although i love the meaning of the book, i think that it lacks in the storytelling narrative & purposefulness. the variety of media is lovely to include yet many ‘days’ feel like random snapshots that don’t hold much value as others & this is definitely not a book that should be read like i did: chronologically & completed in two days. i believe this book, a collection of moments in a year, fits better as what one would call a coffee table book, picked up once in a while for a light of inspiration & whimsical imagining. i also have decided not to give it a star rating cause there’s little to rate in terms of plot & characters etc. this wasn’t as mini as i thought it would be.

minha mãe me perguntou porque eu compraria um livro que eu posso ler no instagram, e as respostas são tantas que acho que nem preciso escrever aqui.

é um bom livro para ressacas de literárias, um pequeno diário ilustrado, e de quebra ainda traz um pouco de esperança de que algo útil e interessante pode sair da rede social.

Som alla Patti Smith-heads vet har hon ett eget sätt att sammanföra olika kulturyttringar; musik, litteratur, konst, film, livsstil och föremål. Hon har sagt att det viktigaste och det bästa hon skapat kom först efter 57, det är så hoppfullt och inspirerande.

Läser en månad i taget, det här är bara några initiala reaktioner på januari:

1 januari - brukar stå på Tofta Strand precis så där på Nyårsdagen. Ska tänka på Patti och hennes ord.

8 januari - oväntad stilinspo för den unga Patti. Vad har varit "significant influence" för dig, mig?

10 januari - gjorde också listor förr på länder, städer och platser jag ville besöka

28 januari - vilka är mina talismaner? dina?

30 januari - den skapande människans röra

Födelsedagar engagerar mig inte enormt och trots mina litterära och popkulturella passioner från andra epoker lever jag helst i nuet, men det är bara så angenämt att läsa om någon annan som också gillar Godard, Hadrianus, Dickinson, Marlen Haushofer, Yukio Mishima... inte helt självklara namn i vår tid.

Här är ett bra samtal från Barnes & Nobles poddserie 'Poured over':
