Seventh Heaven by Patti Smith, published in 1972 by Telegraph Books, is a groundbreaking collection of poems that captures the raw, enigmatic essence of the artist's early work.

The book comprises 22 poems, each a testament to Smith's artistic vision. From the haunting invocation of historical and cultural figures like "Jeanne Darc," "Edie Sedgwick," and "Amelia Earhart," to the deeply personal and surreal reflections in "Dog Dream" and "Death by Water," Smith creates a rich landscape of longing, rebellion, and transcendence.
Through themes of mysticism, femininity, and desire, Seventh Heaven stands as a timeless work that invites readers into the mind of a poet on the cusp of becoming a cultural icon. Its compact size and powerful content make it a cherished piece for fans of Patti Smith's artistry and collectors of 20th-century poetry.
