WXPN Welcomes Songs & Stories with Patti Smith: Bread of Angels Book TourDecember 1, 2025
Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
---
Join us for an evening celebrating the release of Patti Smith’s new memoir, Bread of Angels. The event features a live performance and an intimate discussion with Smith about the creation of her latest work, which spans her life from childhood to present day. Each ticket includes a copy of Patti Smith's memoir, Bread of Angels.
In Smith's most intimate and visionary work, she describes her post- World War II childhood in working class Philadelphia and South Jersey, her teenage years when the first glimmers of art and romance take hold, her rise as a punk rock icon to her retreat from public life when she meets her one true love and starts a family on the shores of Lake Saint Clair, Michigan. As Smith suffers profound losses, she also returns to writing, the one constant on a lifelong path driven by artistic freedom and the power of imagination.
On November 4, 2025, fifteen years after publication of the National Book Award Winning classic Just Kids and capping off the 50th Anniversary Tour of Horses, Patti Smith's iconic first album, Random House published Patti Smith's long-awaited memoir, Bread of Angles.
