The second printing of this chapbook by punk laureate Patti Smith and Television front man Tom Verlainne.

Publication of The Night, the only work co-authored by Patti Smith and Tom Verlaine, came about when poets Allen Fisher and Richard Miller sent a letter to Smith in 1976, "asking her to prepare a poetic book, which would be released in the underground publishing scene in London". Published that year, it features 22 poems, eleven by Smith (designated by odd numbers) and eleven by Verlaine (even numbered).
