"I devoured this bookthrilling, dimensional, thorough; a gift to any Joni Mitchell fan; an in-depth portrait of the life of an artist. This unique and thoughtful biography is recommended for all fans of Joni Mitchell.”Library Journal, Starred review"Monk lifts the veil on her fellow countrywoman.

When her peers were focused on feminism, Mitchell was plumbing the depths of her own human condition. 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.

I was open to whatever Ms. Monk had to say about Joni, her life and her creativity. This book is a mish-mosh of German philosophy with psychoanalytic style musings about what makes Joni tick.

Not worth reading This book is just a rehash of materials from other sources. Most have appeared many times in many other publications. The only "original" work in this book is the author's clumsy attempts to force generalized concepts from philosophy, psychology & other disciplines on Joni Mitchell's life and work.
