  • On New Year’s Day, 2016, legendary singer-songwriter Patti Smith embarked on a year of solitary travel and writing. Her intimate memoir Year of the Monkey offers a kaleidoscopic account of this time on the road, all captured in the candid voice of her previous works, M Train and the National Book Award-winning Just Kids. Lucid and profound meditations on loss, aging, friendship, and American politics are interspersed with fantastical accounts of imagined realities and magical occurrences, giving us new insights into Smith’s virtuosic mind. At CHF, Smith will discuss what she’s learned over the course of her storied career, and the powerful revelations that come from opening yourself up to uncertainty.

    I have never heard something who talks like she does. There’s this careless and free sensibility to it. I love her

    She is so - everything- that we need- because we have it and she reminds us we have what we need

    Patti always so gracious- I was young and so into music (and still am) and I asked my Mom to get Horses when it came out -( 24 years older than me)
    You are always the writer to me- BABEL!

    I wept along with the interviewr at the end..... at Patti's stronger than ever vocals and solar radiance. Her smile like a ray of sun breaking through a dark sky.

    Amazing to think that Patti Smith came out of that era alive and sane. She is an amazing human being.

    Patti is priceless, a timeless cosmic angel being, a pure unblemished treasure! "Keep a little path of joy…don't be afraid to feel joy in the face of sorry or be the bummer at a party." I could listen to her for hours and hours. She is beyond inspiring -- I love her! Thank you for the great interview.

      When you talk "Worst Ever Godzilla Movie," I think back to my teen years, late 1980s, DC, watching Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster on UHF channel 20. I wasn't even drunk or on drugs. I was a straightlaced teen 99% of nights. THE MOVIES, late at night, WERE the drugs.

      Don't be like that.
      Interviewing Patti would do anyone's head in.
      She defined the last part of the last Century.
      Gonna freak anyone out.
      Esp a beginner.
      U can see her great generosity of spirit here.
