Her work is rooted in poetry, which infused her 1975 landmark album, \u003ci\u003eHorses\u003c\/i\u003e. A declaration of existence, \u003ci\u003eHorses\u003c\/i\u003e was described as ‘three chords merged with the power of the word’; it was graced with the now iconic portrait by Robert Mapplethorpe, the subject of her award-winning memoir \u003ci\u003eJust Kids\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitially published in 1998, Patti Smith’s \u003ci\u003eComplete Lyrics\u003c\/i\u003e was a testimony to her uncompromising poetic power.
