by Patti Smith
First published 2022
On New Year's Day, Patti Smith retreats to her remote cabin to confront the blank page. As the seasons unfold, she faces creative blocks, personal turmoil, and the ebb and flow of inspiration. Through journal entries, vignettes, and bursts of verse, Smith's intimate chronicle captures the universal quest to find meaning in the everyday. Her musings on art, love, mortality, and the natural world weave a tapestry of hard-won wisdom, hard-earned beauty, and the humanity that binds us all.
