Patti Smith

Forfatterbiografi

Patti Smith (født 30. december 1946 i Chicago i USA) er en amerikansk poet, sangskriver, musiker og billedkunstner, der har virket som en markant stemme i krydsfeltet mellem punk, poesi og memoir. Hun er især kendt for at lade sangtekster og litterær fordybelse smelte sammen, og hun forbindes ofte med 1970’ernes pionerer i den nyamerikanske punktradition. Som forfatter og lyriker har Smith udgivet flere digtsamlinger og bøger, og hendes tekster kredser ofte om kulturhistoriske spor, mytologi og personlige erfaringer. Hendes gennembrud som forfatter knyttes bredt til memoiren Just Kids (2010), som skildrer hendes ungdom og kunstneriske fællesskab med fotografen Robert Mapplethorpe; bogen vandt National Book Award for nonfiction. Senere har hun fortsat publiceret litterære værker og styrket sin position som en slags poetisk frontfigur i samtidens rock- og litteraturkultur. Betydningen for litteraturen ligger i hendes evne til at oversætte musikkens rytmik og sceneidentitet til en litterær form, der både rummer intensitet og eftertænksomhed. Hendes udgivelse Patti Smith Collected Lyrics, 1970–2015 samler netop den samlede lyriske produktion og understreger, at hendes “sange” fungerer som egentlige litterære tekster.
