Patti overhears a teacher saying to another teacher that she is 'an odd duck' in the playground. She fronts a neighborhood gang, Generally you sense that there is artistic lucence and embroidery on every other line but Patti Smith is someone who understands better than most that life us the great fiction.
She unlocks the intrepid imagination of the collective childhood experience. Her writing is alchemy, a metaphor Patti uses herself. It inspires you to rush yo a keyboard or a notebook and write yourself. To populate paragraphs and sentences. She does an incredible thing. Reinvents her own childhood. Turns it into the stuff of myth, She discpvers Alice. One of her first literary steps and models.
