Breaking out of the 70s New York punk scene, Patti Smith was a revelation: a musician of searing originality, but also an intellectual, a style icon and an incomparable live performer. She has since gone on to establish herself as a poet of note and one of rock's most agile, daring, literate performers. In this intimate portrait of a quite unique artist, Smith proves to be a fun, endearing guide to her own life. The result is a touching, irreverent portrait of a genuine radical.
"a loving meditation on a one-of-a-kind performer." New York Post
