Patti Smith: Auguries of Innocence
Patti Smith, seminal LES artist and punk rock originator, reads and signs her latest book of poetry Auguries of Innocence. "Patti Smith is a poet, artist, and musician. Her band, the Patti Smith Group helped to open up the New York musical scene, centered on the iconic rock venue CBGBs in the early 70s. Together the band produced four influential albums: Horses, Radio Ethiopia, Easter, and Wave. Patti is the author of Witt, Babel, Wool Gathering, The Coral Sea, and Complete, a catalog of lyrics, photographs, and reflections. Her drawings have been exhibited at the Robert Miller Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Pompidou Center in Paris. Auguries of Innocence is her first collection of poems since 1979." As this event is open to the public but created for students, we suggest early arrive as seating may be limited.
