Summary: Patti Smith mated French Symbolist poetry with rock & roll, and created a musical style to match. Her innovative 1975 album, HORSES, was one of the earliest and most important influences on punk rock (not to mention on post-punk female songwriters like PJ Harvey), though ironically her biggest hit, 1978's "Because the Night," was co-written with Bruce Springsteen. Smith spent much of the '80s and '90s away from the music business, but re-entered the fray in earnest starting with 1996's lauded GONE AGAIN. This collection, which spans three decades, contains many of the provocative poet and musician's poems and song lyrics, with hundreds of black and white photographs of her contemporaries - including portraits of William S. Burroughs, Kurt Cobain, and Jerry Garcia - which have been provided by famous photographers such as Annie Liebovitz and Robert Mapplethorpe.
