𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘑𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘮 is a stunning long prose poem presenting a prophetic vision of art and humanity, faith and freedom; a vision of escape from the rituals of power and the mechanisms of social control. Illustrated with colour photographs and art work by Patti Smith, this beautiful hardbound volume is a true collector’s item.
"Smith’s optimism is a type of soldiering on – one that can wade through grief, one that can expect an upside to be revealed in the flames of failure, and one that can absorb anger to transubstantiate it into good deeds. It’s this last quality that shines most clearly in the pages of her newest obscure thing: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘑𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘮." – PopMatters
"Patti Smith – the punk poet laureate – identifies Christ as an artist, crafting his ideal of salvation with imagination. Smith’s own art and imagination is a cry against the modern mania for 'God usurped by Goal.'" – Convivium
