"Devotion is short enough to devour at one enjoyable sitting and thought-provoking enough to deserve re-reading."--Suzi Feay, Financial Times "Devotion shows rather than tells what it means to give a life to writing."--Katherine Cooper, Hyperallergic A work of creative brilliance may seem like magic--its source a mystery, its impact unexpectedly stirring. How does an artist accomplish such an achievement, connecting deeply with an audience never met? In this groundbreaking book, one of our culture's beloved artists offers a detailed account of her own creative process, inspirations, and unexpected connections. Patti Smith, a National Book Award-winning author, first presents an original and beautifully crafted tale of obsession--a young skater who lives for her art, a possessive collector who ruthlessly seeks his prize, a relationship forged of need both craven and exalted. She then takes us on a second journey, exploring the sources of her story. We travel through the South of France to Camus's house, and visit the garden of the great publisher Gallimard where the ghosts of Mishima, Nabokov, and Genet mingle. Smith tracks down Simone Weil's grave in a lonely cemetery, hours from London, and winds through the nameless Paris streets of Patrick Modiano's novels. Whether writing in a caf or a train, Smith generously opens her notebooks and lets us glimpse the alchemy of her art and craft in this arresting and original book on writing. The Why I Write series is based on the Windham-Campbell Lectures, delivered annually to commemorate the awarding of the Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prizes at Yale University.Binding Type: Hardcover

It was Mama's idea
My mom wanted this so if she requests something specifically then it is good. Honor your father and mother so your days will be long on the earth.

Miracle. It's a miracle.
Size: Standard (Medium)
After years and years of searching for a comfortable pillow, I've finally found it!
I was hesitant to try latex because I have severe sensory issues and thought it would be weird, smelly and maybe noisy. I really couldn't envision how it would work.
The reality is a perfectly bouncy soft pillow that supports your head and neck at just the right height and has immediate bounce back so that when you turn in the night you don't have to waste hours or even minutes fluffing plumping positioning or any other nonsense... You just flip yourself over and go back to sleep. It's a friggin miracle!!!
There is a very faint though tolerable and fading scent of balloons. Not too bad for me, but might be annoying to some.
Overall, thank goodness I bought this pillow. I'm tempted to replace all my pillows with latex ones but... I don't really need any other pillows now! Maybe I will just so I have spares or something.
Granted, it's only been about a week but I expect it to be fairly durable and hold it's quality for quite a while.
So thrilled! Just so happy with this purchase! Ten stars, ten hearts!

Very Firm Latex Medium, Appears Well-made
Size: Standard (Medium)
I love latex pillows, used them for decades. Then I got led astray! My neck reminded me I need firm, but soft and bouncy. This pillow is surprisingly firm for a medium. So think twice before ordering firm.
