Join us for an evening with writer, performer, and visual artist Patti Smith, celebrating the publication of her new book, Devotion. She will read from and discuss the new book, and all attendees will receive a copy.

A work of creative brilliance may seem like magic—its source a mystery, its impact unexpectedly stirring. How does an artist accomplish such an achievement, connecting deeply with an audience never met? In the groundbreaking Devotion, one of our culture's beloved artists offers a detailed account of her own creative process, inspirations, and unexpected connections. Whether writing in a café or a train, Smith generously opens her notebooks and lets us glimpse the alchemy of her art and craft in this arresting and original book on writing.

Patti Smith's memoir Just Kids received a National Book Award, and her recent book M Train is a critically acclaimed New York Times best-seller. Smith was awarded the prestigious title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres by the French Republic. Her seminal album Horses has been hailed as one of the top one hundred albums of all time, and in 2007 she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She lives in New York City.
