Each ticket comes with a copy of Patti’s newest book, Bread of Angels, which will be distributed at the event.
About the book: The most intimate of Smith’s memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative role models as she begins to write poetry then lyrics, ultimately merging both into the songs of iconic recordings such as Horses, Wave, and Easter. Grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again–the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope.
