Verso Visionary: Patti Smith, Legendary Singer/Songwriter and National Book Award Winner
Thursday, April 3 at 7 pm | Trefz Forum | $45
VersoFest 2025 is kicking off with a legend of music and letters.
Patti Smith, the acclaimed singer/songwriter, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and National Book Award winner, will open The Westport Library’s fourth annual music and media festival on April 3.
Smith is revered for her work as a performer and songwriter — her 1975 album Horses has been hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the top 100 albums of all time. Her 2010 volume, Just Kids, won the National Book Award for nonfiction. She is also the author of New York Times best-sellers M Train and Year of the Monkey and works of poetry including Auguries of Innocence.
At VersoFest, Smith will discuss her latest volume, A Book of Days, The New York Times best-selling photo book with 365 images taking the reader through a single year of Smith’s life, inspired by her wildly popular Instagram account.
Tickets for this event include a seat in the Trefz Forum for her talk as well as a copy of A Book of Days.
