Patti Smith created a literary piece of genius. The way she writes is very beautiful and poetic. The book its self feels almost like a song - the chorus being Patti and Robert’s mutual love and inspiration of each other. Even though I knew what the end would entail, it still brought me to tears with the raw emotional and recollection of Smith. The art through out was a great way of building their world and the images of the art they created. 
It was a little slow at the beginning. I did have to look up some people, but it was worth it to hear their story.

my bible which I’ll re-read soon, I’m sure about it.
I started reading it when i was in the dutch countryside, near Zaanse Schans. It inspired me in an intense way, I couldn’t stop about it, i couldn’t stop creating, reading, drawing, gluing… Patti and Robert screamed art and creation. Their method inspired me. It also reminded me how nothing is really important, i have to take life less seriously, it’s going to be ok.

I love this book so bad, i will protect it and keep it as my inspiration.

Kaunis, esteettinen kertomus kahdesta taiteilijasta ja heidän erikoislaatuisesta suhteestaan. Ihan kakaroita on todellakin runoilijan taideteos, jossa taiteilijoiden ja muusien roolit vaihtuvat ja ainoastaan rakkaus ja taide pysyy. Tässä on vähän rappioromantiikkaa, paljon surua ja kipuja, mutta samaan aikaan kaikki on niin erityistä ja ihmiset pitävät toisiaan kädestä.

A truly transformative read about living life through art resilient.

Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine. Melting in a pot of thieves, wild card up my sleeve. Thick, heart of stone, my sins, my own. They belong to me, me. People said, "Beware", but I don't care. Their words are just rules and regulations to me, me.

I walk in a room, you know I look so proud. I move in this here atmosphere where anything's allowed. Then I go to this here party and I just get bored. Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing. Humping on a parking meter, leaning on the parking meter. Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine. And I've got this crazy feeling that I'm going to, ah-ah, make her mine... (Patti Smith, Gloria)
