Patti Smith (Chicago, 1946) is a writer, singer, and visual artist. She gained significant recognition in the 1970s with the spread of her poetry and rock music. She has released twelve albums, including Horses, considered one of the top hundred of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Smith held her first drawing exhibition at the Gotham Book Mart in 1973, was represented by the Robert Miller Gallery for three decades, and her retrospective exhibitions have taken place at the Andy Warhol Museum, the Cartier Foundation, and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. Among her books, it is worth highlighting the story of her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe: Just Kids (Lumen, 2010), awarded the National Book Award, Witt, Babel, Woolgathering (Lumen, 2014), The Coral Sea (Lumen, 2012), Auguries of Innocence (Lumen, 2019), M Train (Lumen, 2016), Devotion (Lumen, 2018), Year of the Monkey (Lumen, 2020), and Book of Days (Lumen, 2023). In 2005, the French Minister of Culture awarded her the title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, the highest honor given to an artist by the French Republic. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Smith married musician Fred Sonic Smith in Detroit in 1980. They had a son, Jackson, and a daughter, Jesse. The author, who in 2020 received the Pen America Literary Service Award, resides in New York.
