Résumé
"An intimate, impressionistic Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man mode, interwoven with Mitchell myths and parallels."- New York Times Book Review"An astonishing exploration of what it means to lead an artist's life-how to last, dig deep, change, to embrace one's voice while in conversation with your heroes."-Elizabeth McCracken, author of The Hero of This BookFrom the celebrated novelist and memoirist, a gorgeous account of how Joni Mitchell's work has shaped his writing throughout his life.
From the moment Paul Lisicky heard Joni Mitchell's music while growing up in New Jersey, he recognized she was that rarity among musicians-a talent whose combination of introspection, liberation, and deep musicality set her apart from any other artist of the time. As a young man, Lisicky was a budding songwriter who took his cues from Mitchell's mysteries and idiosyncrasies. But as he matured, he set his guitar aside and turned to prose, a practice that would eventually take him to the Iowa Writers' Workshop and into the professional world of letters.
As the decades passed, Lisicky's connection to Mitchell's artistry only deepened. Her music was a constant, a guide to life, and an artist's manual in one. As he navigated love and heartbreak and imaginative struggles and the vicissitudes of a creative career, he would often return to Mitchell's songs, to the solace and lessons that only her musicianship could give. Paying unique tribute to the woman who shaped generations of creators and thinkers, Lisicky offers his own coming-of-adulthood as testimony to the power of songwriting and staying true to your creative vision.
Part memoir, part biography, and part homage, Song So Wild and Blue is a joy for devoted Mitchell enthusiasts, budding writers, and artists of all stripes.
