Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations,we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation.Here,too,are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband,Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation,illustrated with her signature Polaroids,'M Train' is a meditation on travel,detective shows,literature,and coffee.It is a powerful,deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today. About the author: Patti Smith is a writer,performer and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary merging of poetry and rock.She has released twelve albums,including 'Horses',which has been hailed as one of the top one hundred albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.

Paperback. Through the linked pieces of The Coral Sea, Patti Smith honors her comrade-in-arms Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989). She tells the story of a man on an ocean journey to see the Southern Cross, who is reflecting on his life and fighting the illness that is consuming him. Metaphoric and dreamy, this tale of transformation arises from Smith's knowledge of Mapplethorpe from a young man to a mature artist; his close relationship with patron and friend, Sam Wagstaff; his years surviving AIDS; and his ascent into death. The Coral Sea is Smith's lyrically compelling recasting of her grief to recapture Mapplethorpe's life in the past and his future in his art. Rich in evocative details, it shows the man beneath the persona. This edition features a new introduction and new material by Smith. Before the National Book Award-winning Just Kids, Patti Smith addressed the life and passing of her intimate friend, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
