Poet, singer and “godmother of the punk movement” Patti Smith appears in a book of poetic prose “I Herd the Clouds” in a completely unusual image. Here she is a little girl experiencing such an exciting and frightening world around her for the first time. She hears the movement of grass and tree leaves. She believes in the existence of other worlds. With wide open eyes, she looks at the clouds passing over her head and understands that everything around is for a reason, that everything is interconnected and she is part of this magical world. The famous singer, who changed rock and roll and wrote some great songs, was able to retain a piece of her childhood. In the book “I Herd the Clouds,” she not only recalls this childhood, she gives a piece of it to readers.
