Patti Smith Announces New Memoir, ‘Bread of Angels’
Patti Smith's forthcoming memoir follows on from the release of previous memoirs 'Just Kids,' 'M Train,' and 'Year of the Monkey.'
According to a synopsis, the book focuses on Smith’s teenage years, her foray into the world of poetry, and the recording of seminal works such as her Horses and Easter albums. “As Smith suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life, and, finally, writing again—the one constant on a path driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the mundane into the beautiful, the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope,” the synopsis reads. The singer will be joined by longtime side men guitarist Lenny Kaye and drummer Jay Dee Daugherty, who both played on the seminal 1975 LP.
