Lyrics, Notes and Reflections
Patti Smith has been called "the godmother of punk" and "rock 'n' roll's poet laureate". Collected here are the complete lyrics to her extraordinary career. From her legendary album 'Horses' to her most recent work, 'Peace and Noise', the book charts the lyrical journey of a poet and musician whose words have influenced a generation. Illustrated with nearly 150 photographs as well as original artwork, it includes previously unpublished work by renowned photographers. Patti Smith also includes her own artwork and mementoes drawn from her extensive journals: a record of the time when rock 'n' roll made an indelible mark on the world.
