The singer-songwriter, poet, author and pioneering punk rock musician reads from and discusses her intimate "Bread of Angels: A Memoir" at this ticketed event. Tickets include a copy of the book.
Patti Smith, joined in conversation by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, poet, and director of Princeton University’s Program in Journalism, Eliza Griswold, will share passages from the book that charts her journey from her childhood in postwar America to her creative awakening and life as one of rock’s most influential voices.
Smith is also the author of "A Book of Days," "Woolgathering," "M Train," "Year of the Monkey", and "Collected Lyrics." A visual artist and photographer, Smith's global exhibitions include "Strange Messenger," "Land 250," "Camera Solo," and "Evidence." Her seminal album "Horses," released 50 years ago, has been hailed as one of the top 100 albums of all time.
In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, and is the recipient of the ASCAP Founders Award, Sweden’s Polar Music Prize, the PEN/Audible Literary Service Award, and the Legion d’honneur.
