Recenzii

Patti Smith's Bread of Angels is a triumph
Smith's eye for life's everyday transcendence rarely fails her
Quietly sacred, utterly beautiful
Reads more like a gospel or a beat prose-poem than a conventional autobiography . Smith is acutely aware of being part of a dying breed, those who grew up outdoors, devoured books - and fell in love. At a time when love has never been so undervalued, when "boyfriends are embarrassing", according to Vogue, when the union of two humans is mere content, it is lovely to read about love as sacred. Smith, once again, shows us a better way to be ourselves
The post-pandemic flood of artist memoirs continues, but Patti Smith stands apart. you see the rebel artist being born in stop-motion.The narrative is radiant and intimate. A transcendent sequence that follows - like those moments in her songs when poetic incantation takes flight - displays her eccentric writing style not as a tic but a superpower. She sang herself into being. She's written - is still writing - her own story
Just Kids is the memoir we've name-checked as a favourite read for the last 15 years, but just wait until you've sunk your teeth into Patti Smith's latest Bread of Angels. From her postwar childhood to becoming a rock icon and poet, she reflects on art, love and resilience in her most intimate memoir to date
Her greatest creation - the idea of what an artist should be - will live on for decades yet
In her lyrical, moving memoir Bread of Angels rock goddess Patti Smith tells the story of how she 'found her voice' - both the singing and writing kind
A fantastic read - a portrait of an artist who was at the heart of New York's counter-cultural scene in the 1970s. a warm and thoughtful person, with an intense aesthetic sensibility and a - just as intense - love of family. Her losses have shaped her. Her poetic artistry has shaped us all
Poetic and immersive [.] Bread of Angels is both a prequel and a sequel to the bestselling Just Kids [.] from 'rock's renaissance woman'
Smith's evocative memoir of life at the forefront of the bohemian music scene is imbued with her customary lyricism and unwavering cool
Essential reading ... Bread of Angels is the latest in Patti Smith's series of memoirs. This one focuses on her teenage years, where the beginnings of her creativity emerged in the poetry and lyrics that went on to form her unique style
Smith's life has a feeling of something from a lost world ... In these pages, "the hourglass overturns. Each grain a word that erupts into a thousand more". It is a deep pleasure to spend time lost in this world of memories, ideas and poetry
Like Burke, the musician and poet Patti Smith had a tough start in life, living in poverty and frequently confined to her bed from illnesses including tuberculosis, scarlet fever and pneumonia. Soulful and intimate, Bread of Angels is Smith's fourth volume of autobiography, and details her childhood, her decade away from music raising a family and her return to work following a series of devastating personal losses
Bread of Angels is not [Patti's] first memoir... but it is a full-on autobiography, and the only one I know written by a rock star that recounts a three dimensional artist's journey. This is the autobiography of a sensibility as well as an individual, its nearest equivalent being Dylan's illuminating, episodic and charmingly unreliable Chronicles, Volume 1 ... There is no one like her, though many have tried to emulate her. Swimming ecstatically in the 'sea of possibilities', she created entirely new vistas of what women could do in rock and she unveils in Bread of Angels a literary voice as unique and mesmeric as the voice we heard on that first album
Fans will devour it
An expansive cradle-to-late-life account of Smith's experiences over eight decades. One of the marvels of Bread of Angels is that... it is remarkably fresh, with long sections on subjects about which Smith has rarely written or even said much publicly ... Enlightening
Bread of Angels is Smith's most straightforwardly autobiographical book to date ... Her focus this time is her trajectory from a working-class childhood in Pennsylvania and south Jersey into her stage and recording career - which she put on hiatus during her marriage and reignited during her widowhood... Veers between elegy and engagement
Some of the National Book Award winner's most intimate recollections to date - as sweeping in scope as they are pivotal to understanding the woman behind the accolades
Bread of Angels augments the list of romantically crumbling places that Smith treasures. Riveting ... We love her because of her aura of rough authenticity, her earnestness, her seer's way with words and her occasional snarl
Mesmerizing. Transcendent. Like Jeanette Walls' classic, The Glass Castle, Smith's saga begins with a hardscrabble childhood... and unfolds as a bohemian fairy tale ... I wish I could simply reprint those pages here - they moved me deeply
If Just Kids is about innocence and ambition, Bread of Angels - a sister to that book... deals with the more painful realities of experience. She fills in what the earlier memoir leaves in the background: her childhood, her marriage, her fame ... Near the end of our conversation, Smith brought up her desire, invoked early in her memoir, to write something in which everyone would find a piece of themselves
An intimate journey through Smith's life
