Early Work 1970-1979 by Patti Smith
4.75
challenging emotional funny mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

Patti's poem 'Grant' about her Dad was my favourite from this collection. I really love how she writes, even if her ideas are a little abstract at times. 

The edgy punk poems kind of give me a bit of a giggle at times. Just becuase I can imagine some of the art students I know saying similar things to what Patti writes about as a young woman.

I love her poems about art, artists and I love seeing little echoes of the people in her life in her poetry after reading all of her memoirs. Maybe this is my sign to reread Just Kids hahaha
