Join us and collect Patti Smith's, Woolgathering, for our second Book Club here at Pennyroyal. We will be gathering January 16th for Book Club here on Kentucky, giving you and I plenty of time to read and reread Smith's Woolgathering. We can't wait to see you for a relaxed get together where we will be sharing together in between sips and bites.
The National Book Award–winner Patti Smith presents a treasure box of a childhood memoir about “clear unspeakable joy” and “just the wish to know.”
A great book about becoming an artist, Woolgathering tells of a youngster finding herself as she learns the noble vocation of woolgathering, “a worthy calling that seemed a good job for me.” She discovers—often at night, often in nature—the pleasures of rescuing “a fleeting thought.” Deeply moving, Woolgathering calls up our own memories, as the child “glimpses and gleans, piecing together a crazy quilt of truths.” Smith introduces us to her tribe, “a race of cloud dwellers,” and to the fierce, vital pleasures of cloud watching and stargazing and wandering.
