Description
Collected here are selections from Patti Smith's writings over the decade in which she made a lasting impact on America's underground literary and rock scene. Smith's work evokes the experimentation and the desire to break boundaries of those pre-punk days.
Over one-quarter of the works selected are unpublished pieces from journals, performances, and Smith's personal papers. Heavily illustrated with photographs by Judy Linn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Edward Maxey, and others, Early Work brings together all sides of Patti Smith, from the thoughtful intellectual to the explosive performer.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Entertainment Weekly praises the collection for its "galvanizing sense of faith and transcendence" that defines Smith as "the last of the great rock poets." John Rockwell of the New York Times calls her "a poet of distinction." Rolling Stone highlights that Early Work "establishes Smith as a visionary belletrist who believes in rock as a spiritual outlet and haven for black sheep," connecting diverse heroes to a "sexy, androgynous future."
