An acclaimed poet  a respected artist  and a figurehead for many liberal political causes  Patti Smith soared from an ugly-duckling childhood in postwar New Jersey to become queen of the New York arts scene in the 1970s. This book traces the brilliant trajectory of her career  including the fifteen reclusive years she spent in Detroit in the 1980s and 90s  as well as her triumphant return to New York. But it is primarily the story of a performer growing up in New York City in the early and mid-1970s. Dancing Barefoot is a measured  accurate  and enthusiastic account of Smiths career. Guided by interviews with those who have known herincluding Ivan Kral  Tom Verlaine  Richard Lloyd  John Cale  and Jim Carrollit relies most of all on Pattis own words. This is Pattis story  told as she might have seen it  had she been on the outside looking in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666232729653,"sku":"ByrdShop_1569763259","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781569763254.jpg?v=1782424299","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dancing-barefoot-the-patti-smith-story-9781569763254","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
