Very scarce now and long overdue a reprint. This is a lovely Virago edition of Babel by Patti Smith. It contains Smith's poems along with her prose, lyrics, photos and drawings.
BABEL was first published in the USA in early 1978 to enormous critical and popular acclaim. Her hero/ines range from Albertine Sarrazin to Jean Genet to Rimbaud to Bob Dylan, but her voice and style is hers alone. Surreal, erotic, witty, Patti Smith is a major force in 70s music and literature.
Virago was and still is a Feminist publishing company which has been credited as one of several British feminist presses that helped address inequitable gender dynamics within the publishing industry.
