Pleasant poems - “a bidding” was my favourite, filled with childhood magic and possibilities.

“I imagined a lot of things. That I would shine. That I'd be good. I'd dwell bareheaded on a summit turning a wheel that would turn the earth undetected, amongst the clouds, I would have some influence; be of some avail.”

Reading each chapter of this book felt like looking into someone's brain and trying to decipher old fragmented memories - I didn't fully understand a lot of them but I got the impression they were sacred nonetheless

‘And the image of the woolgatherers in that sleepy field drew me to sleep as well. And I wandered among them, through thistle and thorn, with no task more exceptional than to rescue a fleeting thought, as a tuft of wool, from the comb of the wind.’

beautifully written short stories centered around a certain time frame of Patti Smith’s childhood. Definitely sparked my inner child’s interest to hear others created such worlds within their own minds too.

patti smith makes me sob with every sentence. lost is such a big motif in her books and it’s prevalent here as well.
