Smith’s elegy to youth, love, and creation is a devotional for the artist’s soul. Through her bond with Robert Mapplethorpe, she captures what it means to make art before you know how — to starve for it, live for it, and let it change you. It’s poetry, it’s punk, it’s pedagogy in raw form: learning by burning.
