| Summary |
"In the generation of singer-songwriters who came to fame in the '60s, none has had more impact - or created a more evocative, bittersweet, literate, and reflective body of work - than Joni Mitchell. Today's music owes much to her innovation and inspiration. This complete collection of her poetry and song lyrics reads like a poem cycle that finds unexpected meaning and beauty on the page." "Mitchell expands her already remarkable talent as she continues to produce miraculous work, in words, in music, and on canvas." "The importance of Joni Mitchell's entire oeuvre is unequivocal when seen as a lifetime of accomplished writing. The Complete Poems and Lyrics gives us the first opportunity to reconsider Mitchell's written work and her place among the great poets and lyricists of our time."--Jacket. |
