Om forfatteren

Patricia Lee Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and poet who became an influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses.

Called the "punk poet laureate," Smith fused rock and poetry in her work. Her most widely known song is "Because the Night," which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen. It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978 and number five in the U.K. In 2005, Smith was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. In 2007, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On November 17, 2010, Smith won the National Book Award for her memoir Just Kids. The book fulfilled a promise she had made to her former long-time roommate and partner, Robert Mapplethorpe. She placed 47th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Artists published in December 2010 and was also a recipient of the 2011 Polar Music Prize.

Hengiven

– om at skrive

Smith lukker os ind i det det magiske rum, hvor kunst – bøger, musik, billedkunst – bliver skabt. National Book Award-vinderen Patti Smith har fået et stort og begejstret publikum herhjemme. I denne smukke, lille bog lukker hun os med ind i det magiske rum, hvor kunst - bøger, musik, billedkunst - bliver skabt. Hvordan opnår en kunstner det enestående at forbinde sig dybt med et publikum, som hun eller han aldrig har mødt? Smith fortæller om, hvilken hengivenhed der driver hende som musiker og forfatter, og hun deler gavmildt sine inspirationer og tager os med i fodsporene til andre store kunstenere, der har været med til at forandre hendes, og tusindevis af menneskers, liv.
