Patti Smith arrived in New York City July 3, 1967. Homeless yet hopeful, waiting and searching for her blue star.

New York is the thing that seduced me, New York is the thing that formed me, New York is the thing that deformed me, New York is the thing that perverted me, New York is the thing that converted me. New York is the thing I love. - PS 1971

It was the summer she met Robert Mapplethorpe, the love of her life.
