Songwriter/punk rocker/poet Patti Smith blazed onto the rock scene in the 1970s with the seminal album Horses – and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. In addition to her musical career, Smith is a visual artist and a writer. She has written poetry for decades, including The Coral Sea, a book of prose poems written after the death of longtime friend, the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe; her most recent collection is Auguries of Innocence. She has completed a memoir, Just Kids, about her relationship with Mapplethorpe, to be released shortly before her event with SAL, which will include a reading of her poetry and memoir, Q&A, and end with a few songs.
