Patti Smith - singer, songwriter, poet, author and icon - will be sharing her writing in a new weekly newsletter on Substack.

In a message posted recently on her highly entertaining Instagram page, Smith wrote that she aims to use the newsletter to "form an inter-connective body of work for a responsive community," posting " weekly ruminations, shards of poetry, music, and musings on whatever subject finds its way from thought to pen, news of the mind, pieces of this world, free to all."
