Where should I start with patti smith

they’re adorable tho!!

Yes they’re very wholesome

You ever read Arthur Rimbaud? Tom Verlaine took his stage name from that scene plus Patti AND Lizzy Mercier AND Dylan love him.

Scene of Rimbaud & Verlaine. You can see the punk.

Read 'Illuminations' if you haven't, you'd love it.

Vaguely familiar, but I’m definitely gonna dive in
Thanks!

And I had no idea that picture was a reference

Yup. There's also this

which is them reciting this poem

That no wave / punk / NY scene loved Rimbaud. Morrison was obsessed. There's even a Dylan biopic where they just made his character Rimbaud lol

I'd rec the John Ashbery translation of Illuminations if you buy it.

Will do my friend
