Review
Blessings on Joni Mitchell, poet, painter, and songwriter, whom I think of as a magical companion through my life. (Alice Munro )
It's great you're doing this. I have listened to Joni Mitchell for years, admiring her dry wit, sly timing, and gorgeous intelligence. (Gary Snyder, poet, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry )
Joni has always had an otherworldly ability to weave words and images in exquisite ways, connecting us with aspects of the world—and parts of ourselves—that we never knew existed. A journey into Joni’s work is a journey into your own soul. (Tom Rush, singer-songwriter 20130211)
