Description
Patti Smith's Horses is a groundbreaking fusion of poetry and garage band rock and roll. This book offers a detailed analysis of Patti Smith's lyrics, exploring themes such as love, sex, gender, death, dreams, god, metamorphosis, intoxication, apocalypse, and transcendence. Philip Shaw provides a comprehensive examination of how Horses transformed the possibilities of both poetry and rock music, leading to a complete derangement of the senses. The book is as much a work of literary criticism as it is a study of the record's origins in the New York punk scene.
