"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 250 camera, Smith started posting selfies with her phone, 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: her daily coffee, the books she's reading, the graves of beloved heroes: William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, and Albert Camus. Over the days and months, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape in the extraordinarily personal photographs that chart Smith's passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims"--Publisher marketing.
