Kevin Zepper
Corrick Center
Smith, Patti. Early Work. Norton, 1994.
Professor Zepper chose this book because:
“In high school, I was propelled into Patti Smith's music and poetry. I'd never experienced anything as stark and profound as her words. Smith's words courageously walk the thin line between the sacred and the profane. Her work continues to encourage me in my quest as a writer to explore the liminal, spiritual, and metaphorical.”
