Description for The Coral Sea
Paperback. Before the National Book Award-winning Just Kids, Patti Smith addressed the life and passing of her intimate friend, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Num Pages: 96 pages, 7 black-and-white photographs. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 184 x 143 x 8. Weight in Grams: 122.
Through the linked pieces of The Coral Sea, Patti Smith honors her comrade-in-arms Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989). She tells the story of a man on an ocean journey to see the Southern Cross, who is reflecting on his life and fighting the illness that is consuming him.

The Coral Sea is Smith's lyrically compelling recasting of her grief to recapture Mapplethorpe's life ... Read more
