A stunning collection of photographs from Frank Stefanko featuring
the Godmother of Punk herself, iconic musician and author Patti
Smith. "There I was sitting in a booth at the co-op of Glassboro
State College, a bucolic school in the farmlands of South Jersey. .
. Suddenly, the double doors of the co-op swung open and standing
there in the vacuum created was an incredible apparition, a vision
in a white leather coat with long, jet-black hair flowing down her
back. She moseyed in like the bad guy walking into a saloon in an
old western movie. This was the first time I set eyes on Patti
Smith, and I was captivated." So begins Frank Stefanko's
wonderfully personal photographic tale of his friendship and
artistic collaboration with Patti Smith. Stefanko's photographs and
his warm, personal recollections show us an amazing young woman,
long before she became Patti Smith, the cultural icon. Through
images and words, we follow her search for a unique voice--from the
early days of the Chelsea Hotel to spoken word at the St. Mark's
Poetry Project to the release of her seminal album, Horses, and so
much more. These photographs, along with the Stefanko's first-hand
account, capture an incredible era from the mid-1960s to the late-
1970s when a whole new genre of music and art was being born. Prior
to the release of this collection, many of these stunning portraits
had never before been published. They appear here in high-quality
quadratone reproduction, highlighting Stefanko's artistry and his
uncanny ability to capture his subject's inner spirit. Memorabilia
from Smith's personal collection adds to this rare and intimate
look at the emergence of one of America's most respected artists.
With an opening poem from Patti Smith that sets an evocative mood,
an introduction by Lenny Kaye, Smith's longtime guitarist, and a
compelling afterword by editor Chris Murray, this book sets the
reader on a journey from small-town New Jersey and highlights the
enigmatic artist's triumphant career.
