Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words
Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words | Malka Marom, Joni Mitchell
10 posts | 5 read | 9 to read
When singer, musician, and broadcast journalist Malka Marom had the opportunity to interview Joni Mitchell in 1973, she was eager to reconnect with the performer she d first met late one night in 1966 at a Yorkville coffeehouse. More conversations followed over the next four decades of friendship, and it was only after Joni and Malka completed their last recorded interview, in 2012, that Malka discovered the heart of their discussions: the creative process. In "Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words," Joni and Malka follow this thread through seven decades of life and art, discussing the influence of Joni s childhood, love and loss, playing dives and huge festivals, acclaim and criticism, poverty and affluence, glamorous triumphs and tragic mistakes . . . This riveting narrative, told in interviews, lyrics, paintings, and photographs, is shared in the hope of illuminating a timeless body of work and inspiring others."

Interviews with Joni and journalist Malka Maron and published about 10 years ago. Joni is lively and candid about her art, poetry, musical arrangements, and the origins of her inspiration.

#WinterReadathonDailyChallenge The tagged book was one of my top 5 reads last year. I listened to the audio while recovering from a very difficult case of Covid and it was the first thing that drew me in and excited me since getting sick. It also got me back in the habit of listening to her music, which was such a wonderful balm during my recovery. #WomenRockDay @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

SamAnne Love this photo! She's playing the Gorge in WA State for two nights with Brandi Carlisle this summer, and I was so tempted to get tickets. Of course it is sold out. 1y

#PoetryMatters #Golden

We are stardust
We are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we‘ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden ....

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil‘s bargain
And we‘ve got to get ourselves back to the garden

From the song Woodstock by Joni Mitchell

“Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born”

@xicanti , your post about aspen reminded me of Joni Mitchell lyrics and also of seeing the leaves come out on Yukon aspen trees when I was there last week. (And I loved Seraphina.)

Yay! A book about music I'm excited to read. (One of the Litsy Reading Challenge categories I was struggling with.) I ❤️❤️❤️ Joni!

Cathythoughts I grew up in the time Of Joni. Her songs are so important to me. Very gifted writer , in a league of her own. And she lived on Crete , under Matalan skies. My favourite place besides home! What is it with these Canadians ? They burn bright x 7y
AmyG I want to read this, too. I love Joni. She helped me through My teens and early 20's. I know every word to every song through The Hissing of Summer Lawns. ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
merelybookish @Cathythoughts Yes, Joni, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young. Canada has produced some amazing singers! 7y
merelybookish @AmyG I discovered her in college and loved all her early stuff. Lately, I have listening to her less folk albums more. I really want to know all her work. 7y
