National Book Award Winner and singer/songwriter Patti Smith will read from her reissued and slightly expanded edition of Woolgathering. David Ulin of the Los Angeles Times describes the book perfectly as "a mix of the practical and the mythic, like the marriage of rock n' roll and poetry." The effortlessly prolific Smith will read, answer audience questions, and sign her books. Come for an evening of pure Smith.

Purchase a copy of Woolgathering either at our main floor registers or at the door until we reach capacity. The purchase of the book admits one guest.The event will be located in the Strand's 3rd floor Rare Book Room at our store at 828 Broadway at 12th Street.
