Patti Smith (Chicago, 1946)—a foundational figure of rock and roll and the revolutionary fusion of poetry and music—broke a ten-year poetic silence with Auguries of Innocence. In this collection, the acclaimed author of Horses and Just Kids steps away from her signature raw rebellion to deliver a mature, hypnotic, and deeply introspective voice.

On January 30th at 6:00 PM, we invite you to an event with Laia Malo, the poet and translator responsible for crafting this stunning Catalan edition. Malo will share her insights into the delicate and powerful process of translating such an intimate, blazing work, ensuring Smith’s unique voice resonates just as beautifully in its new language. We look forward to seeing you there!
