New book on Joni in the works

Posted November 11, 2010

Greystone Books publisher Rob Sanders has acquired world rights to journalist Katherine Monk's Joni Mitchell, a new portrait of the reclusive musical icon. This book taps into Mitchell's evolving philosophy to examine how significant life events like failed relationships, the surrender of her infant daughter, and debilitating sickness have influenced her creative expression. Author Katherine Monk moves beyond standard biography to capture the rich legacy of her multifaceted subject, weaving in personal reflections and cultural observations as she explores everything from Mitchell's lifelong obsession with Nietzsche to her current struggle with Morgellon's syndrome to reveal the Mitchell who remains misunderstood.
