Strange Messenger The Work of Patti Smith

Bringing together approximately 60 works spanning the past 30 years, Strange Messengercollects early pieces as well as new ones inspired by the September 11, 2001, bombing of the World Trade Center, in which Smith expresses her views about violence, religion, war and intolerance. This book marks the first occasion that Smith's drawings have been brought together in a single volume, as well as the first publication of most of the included works.Greenberg, David is the author of 'Strange Messenger The Work of Patti Smith', published 2003 under ISBN 9780971568822 and ISBN 0971568820.
