“The poet may stand alone, but in merging with a band, surrenders to the wonder of teamwork. Thus joined, we birthed 'Horses' together.” ~ Patti Smith, Bread Of Angels

On November 4th 2025, Patti Smith will publish her long awaited memoir, "Bread Of Angels", via Random House Publishing. In Smith’s most intimate and visionary work, she describes her post world war II childhood in working class Philadelphia and South Jersey, her teenage years when the 1st glimmers of art and romance take hold, her rise as punk rock icon to her retreat from public life when she meets her one true love and starts a family on the shores of Lake Saint Clair, Michigan. As Smith suffers profound losses, she also returns to writing, the one constant on a lifelong path driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination.
