From the moment Joni Mitchell's career began — with coffee-house bookings, serendipitous encounters with established stars, and a recording contract that gave her full creative control over her music — the woman from the Canadian wheat fields has eluded industry cliches. When her peers were focused on feminism, Mitchell was plumbing the depths of her own human condition. When arena rock was king, she turned to jazz. When all others hailed Bob Dylan as a musical messiah, Mitchell saw a fraud burdened with halitosis. Unafraid to "write in her own blood," regardless of the cost, Mitchell has been vilified as a diva and embraced as a genius, but rarely has she been recognized as an artist and a thinker.This new portrait of the reclusive icon examines how significant life events — failed relationships, the surrender of her infant daughter, debilitating sickness — have influenced her creative expression.

Editorial : "I devoured this bookthrilling, dimensional, thorough; a gift to any Joni Mitchell fan; an in-depth portrait of the life of an artist. It felt oddly like tracking my own genealogy, as Joni Mitchell, unbeknownst to her, raised me from a very early age." Edie Falco, star of Nurse Jackie and The Sopranos"The way that Monk writes freely about topics that aren’t directly linked to the plain facts of Mitchell’s biography at first seems tangential, but it comes to be one of the best aspects of the book."

Ellery has a rather unique talent that no one suspects--he can see and communicate with the dead. Great book. For friends and loved ones of people suffering, it explains both what they may be going through and how it feels. This book is the best of its kind I have found. Thanks to my instructor Mr.K.Light who referenced me to buy this book for his class business practices of photography.. Too bad Heatseeker hasn't got it. Tristan only wants a chance. I can see how it could be eye opening for people who have not researched this topic but it leaves a lot out there. It focuses on the inner journey while providing wonderful tools to enhance your practice. HOWEVER: the author does assume some familiarity on the part of the reader with wooden sailing ship
