Patti Smith read for the months-long celebration of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, and of the time he spent in New York in 1929 and 1930, which inspired his collection “Poet in New York.” She spoke about Lorca’s work, calling “Poet in New York,” “a very American book” that offers “special insight into New York City.” In a rousing encore, she made the connection between her own work and the honored poet’s more explicit by performing “Piss Factory,” her 1974 spoken-word plaint about a menial job. “I got something to hide here called desire,” Ms. Smith recited. “And I will get out of here.”
