From the singular mind of punk poet laureate and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Patti Smith comes A Book of Days, a luminous visual diary that transforms the mundane into the sacred. Originally shared through her beloved Instagram account, this intimate collection presents 365 photographs — one for each day of the year — accompanied by Smith's characteristically poetic and incantatory prose, weaving together images of cherished objects, artistic heroes, beloved landscapes, and quiet domestic moments into a singular meditation on time, memory, and devotion. Smith's artistic vision has always resisted easy categorisation, and A Book of Days is no exception — it is part memoir, part visual art, part spiritual almanac. The work illustrates her enduring preoccupation with the intersection of the sacred and the everyday, paying homage to the writers, musicians, and revolutionaries who shaped her world, from Arthur Rimbaud to John Coltrane. Written with the unhurried grace and unflinching sincerity that have defined her celebrated career — from Just Kids to M Train — this collection leaves the reader wondering what other hidden altars of beauty Smith has yet to reveal.
