“I'm really driven by poetry. I'm really driven by language. But also, I'm driven by a desire to connect with the people. So I could have been a teacher. I could have been a politician. I could have been anyone that communicates with people verbally because I liked that. I wound up a performer, but it was all rooted in poetry. And as a book person, I have loved books since I was a toddler.” Writer, performer, National Book Award Winner (Just Kids), Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Patti Smith joins us on the show to take us behind the scenes of A Book of Days, connecting with readers, taking the pictures she wants to take (and leaving the rest to others), her love of mathematics, paying attention to marginalia in books, Arianna Grande and Harry Styles, Keanu Reeves (and the John Wick movies), dancing to pop music and much more with Poured Over’s host Miwa Messer.

‘I’m always working on a couple of books at the same time‘ is what so many of us wanted to hear

When I was young and " on the road" I used to read books of Jack Kerouac, Jack London and such stuff. Now I` m much more older, I usually read books written by Patti, when I"m on the road. I really really love her style and you can read them over and over again and you " ll always discover something new in them. That " s poetry...

Such an interesting and charismatic person. Patti Smith confounds every assumption I ever made about her based on the little I knew.

Thank you for a magical interview with the giant goddess that is Patti Smith. I could listen for days and days! Her Book of Days is amazing and I can't wait for all of the other things she talked about in the pipeline. Also--her SubStack is so much fun, which I subscribe to as well. I adore her and really appreciate your excellent interview.

She wrote the foreword to Sam Shepards ‘The One Inside’ and when she was writing ‘Year Of The Monkey’ he was by her side, dying from motor neurone disease and working on his final masterpiece ‘Spy Of The First Person’. What’s interesting is to read these 3 books side by side. During the creative process they swapped manuscripts and U sense how each influenced the other’s writing style.
