Description
Patti Smith's Early Work: 1970 To 1979 is a collection of writings from one of America's most influential underground figures. Spanning over a decade, this volume brings together poems and prose from her chap-books Seventh Heaven, Ha! Ha! Houdini!, Witt, and Babel, as well as previously unpublished pieces. These selections offer a glimpse into the experimentation, longing, and desire for boundary-pushing that defined Smith's work during this period. The book also includes photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, Judy Linn, and others, providing a unique insight into Smith's life and art. This collection provides a comprehensive overview of Patti Smith's writing from one of the most pivotal periods in her career, when she was pushing the boundaries of poetry, music, and performance.
