a Great read from her is [Woolgathering](https://www.amazon.com/Woolgathering-Patti-Smith/dp/0811231259/ref=sr_1_1?crid=23P7BE5HY1P6D&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mO2EbRo3xU6cbRga6hb0mu7n5ZPE3EKuexSPwws_cg29XHemxj-rLOf53Gtt95EcW_hsmy-tbkEsErEVjwtFOzVCeW_HGWd1GSXCMjoioqf-kKhNRUx-dpR6npEk0gc6s07_lWAidc2_kGwfhXdDsw.4VYM3FXKRGXFf5m-mu1C7kjL30NShFyUkeJlJoB2fGk&dib_tag=se&keywords=woolgathering+by+patti+smith&qid=1727476001&sprefix=woolgathe%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1). 

It's great that Patti Smith is back. She took a long hiatus at the height of her career, I think, to raise a family. She made some great albums.
