Patti Smith's M Train...
Of course, I love it. Patti is an odd duck. A William Burroughs acolyte. A poet. For sure. In the best way. In every thing she does. She transforms the world thru her poetic sensibility.
And what does she do?
She visits graves of favorite authors and poets.
She watches detective shows on TV.
She loses things; people, notebooks, beloved over-coats.
She reads.
She writes.
She dreams.
She remembers.
She drinks coffee.
She spends lots of time alone. Solitary. Talking to inanimate objects. Inanimate objects talk back.
A poet. A lover. A dreamer. A mystic.
In her world - dream, vision, memory, imagination and reality are all one thing.
The book is so much about loss. How much we lose. Every. Moment. Of. Every. Day. Beautiful.
She's a quirky, tough little bird. Love her. Love her fiery, determined quirkiness.
