Praise for Joan Baez's previous book, Am I Pretty When I Fly?: An Album of Upside Down Drawings " Am I Pretty When I Fly? shows me a side of Joan Baez I could not have imagined. It is entertaining, moving, ridiculously funny, insightful, and mysterious." -- Lana Del Rey "Joan Baez is still doing beautiful, cool stuff....abstract, quivery, weird, inscrutable, pure, and hilarious." -- The New Yorker "A book exploding with spontaneity and humor, and a grand tour through the mind of one of the great artists of the twentieth century." -- Steve Martin "Baez isn't current, she's timeless." -- Los Angeles Times "Joan Baez is much more than a cultural icon and spiritual/creative godmother to multiple generations of people on this planet. She has repeatedly put herself on the line for peace and justice and for the downtrodden who have nowhere to go. And then there's that voice --stunning, earth-shattering, loving, reaching in and piercing one's soul to help us hang on for dear life. And now her artwork and drawings, along with her pointed wit, reach into us again. We know we live in an upside down world, but the human eye, in its every waking moment, is actually taking an upside down picture and turning it right side up on the way to the brain. This book insists we see the world the way it really is. I've never seen such a work as this. Wow. Just wow ." -- Michael Moore " Am I Pretty When I Fly? is moving, subversive, and heartbreaking. Childlike but not childish, full of wonder as well as despair. I loved it. Just like life. Thank you, Joan." -- Bette Midler "We always knew Joan Baez was funny and clever. We didn't know she was that funny and clever. The real surprise, however, came to us in Joan's new book, Am I Pretty When I Fly? These drawings elicit a stunning depth of feeling as they spin off from humor and romp through tenderness, cynicism, anger, heartbreak and--cloaked in silliness--a terrifying peek at current events. She has put down the guitar and reached for a pen and paper without missing a beat. This brilliant book is an example of an artist drawing the best of herself. These amazing 'feelustrations' are revelatory not only of Joan but humanity itself. She is a gift that keeps on giving." -- Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner "Fans and newcomers alike will appreciate this intimate look into Baez's unique artistry....By gracefully walking a fine line between blunt-force honesty and flights of fancy, the book is satisfying, enjoyable, and rewarding." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance "Joan Baez wraps her arms around the complexities of life: she writes from both bliss and grief; she embraces both the whimsical and the profound; she confronts the struggle to let go of the dichotomy black-and-white and revel in the gray. Baez's poetry shows us that life itself means accepting both the lightness and the darkness." -- Richard Blanco , author of Homeland of My Body "Joan's ideas and musings ricochet from the profound and humanly factual to the observant and slyly humorous. Her words can be both poignantly executed and captivating in a colorful closeness that pin-points the chinks in our armor that mirror all facets of the world we inhabit. A national treasure she is indeed." -- Bernie Taupin , author of Scattershot: Life, Music, Elton, and Me "In these courageous and soul-searching poems, Joan Baez reveals the joy and sorrow of a life lived fully. Her deceptively simple and elegant verses resonate with profound insight into what it means to be alive, looking Janus-like from past to present. Beautiful." -- Gabriel Byrne , author of Walking with Ghosts "The artist's urgency to account for 'talents' (see Matthew 25: 14-30), to complete the record and reckoning, informs this sumptuous debut collection of poems. To her work in song, on canvas, in advocacy for the human causes, this work in words claims its place among Ms. Baez's free-range creations. Brava, is the thing I say, and write on!" -- Thomas Lynch , author of Bone Rosary: New & Selected Poems, Praise for When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance "In these courageous and soul-searching poems, Joan Baez reveals the joy and sorrow of a life lived fully. Her deceptively simple and elegant verses resonate with profound insight into what it means to be alive, looking Janus-like from past to present.

Baez's poetry shows us that life itself means accepting both the lightness and the darkness." -- Richard Blanco , author of Homeland of My Body "Joan's ideas and musings ricochet from the profound and humanly factual to the observant and slyly humorous.

Synopsis
An intimate, autobiographical poetry collection from legendary artist and activist, Joan Baez. Joan Baez shares poems for or about her contemporaries (such as Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, and Jimi Hendrix), reflections from her childhood, personal thoughts, and cherished memories of her family, including pieces about her younger sister, singer-songwriter Mimi Fariña. Speaking to the people, places, and moments that have had the greatest impact on her art, this collection is an inspiring personal diary in the form of poetry. While Baez has been writing poetry for decades, she's never shared it publicly. Poems about her life, her family, about her passions for nature and art, have piled up in notebooks and on scraps of paper. Now, for the first time ever, her life is shared revealing pivotal life experiences that shaped an icon, offering a never-before-seen look into the reminiscences and musings of a great artist. Like a late-night chat with someone you love, this collection connects fans to the real heart of who Joan Baez is as a person, as a daughter and sister, and as an artist who has inspired millions.
