Inside Patti Smith’s Unique Artist’s Booklet for AnOther Magazine

Enclosed within the pages of the latest issue of AnOther Magazine is a very special object: a unique artist’s booklet created with Patti Smith. This publication-within-a-publication features, a poem written by the preternaturally gifted polymath for RIMOWA in 2021 during a period of forced isolation and published here for the first time.

In early March we played two nights at the Fillmore West [in San Francisco], an historic venue that I love – everyone has played there from Jimi Hendrix to the Grateful Dead, the Doors, Big Brother and the Holding Co, Jefferson Airplane, all the great San Francisco bands. It’s a privilege to play there. Then we had a job in Seattle, and off to Australia.

PS: For sure. I’m not an unrelaxed person, I just always have to be engaged in something. It’s true, I have an extremely active mind.PS: That’s because I have enthusiasm, not only for my own work, which of course is paramount, but for the work of others. When I was a child, I loved books before I could read them. I loved them as objects. With each book we’re given world upon world, thanks to the imagination and labours of other people. I’m always reading or writing, thinking or plotting.

PS: I can remember it exactly. I always wanted to travel, since I was a little girl, seeing pictures in libraries of foreign places. Images of pagodas, the Taj Mahal, palm trees, pyramids. I wanted to see all these things. And where I came from, a very rural area of South Jersey, people really didn’t travel. No one had passports. No one thought of going to Europe. They didn’t even go to New York City, which was only two hours away.

JH: What was it like for you, walking in an almost-empty New York City during the past year? You were wandering the streets and taking pictures and rediscovering the city without all of that life and energy.

Wait another day.
