Episode description
The godmother of punk says she never had a choice when it came to being an artist -- it was her calling from the moment she first laid eyes on a Picasso in a Philadelphia gallery. She talks about creating through loss, listening to omens and reliving her childhood, in new memoir Bread of Angels.
