Just Kids by Patti Smith



I've never given much thought to Patti Smith. As an Art Major, I appreciated Robert Mapplethorpe for his beautiful silver gelatin prints of the human & floral forms, but knew nothing about his personal life. I received Just Kids as a Christmas gift and have started reading it. Its painfully beautiful & nostalgic. I had no idea how great a poetic writer Smith is. I'm savoring every detail of their story as young aspiring artists in Brooklyn.. totally recommend it

    I almost bought this on my Kindle, but then I decided not to. Now I'm reconsidering...

    I finished it on my Kindle on a friends rooftop deck in Brooklyn overlooking NYC. It was magic!
