Thank you for the Persuasions journal reference! I'm not a swooner, but “My Kindest Albert Read to Me” ❤️ has me intrigued to chase down that article 👀

I've always liked the dynamic pose. It was the face that dismayed me at first. I'm just grateful that the eyes aren't as (literally) empty as the earlier version that was considered. How "cranky" she looks seems to depend on the angle. I like this photo best.

This is wonderful. Thank you for writing this lovely tribute. I met Maggie once, but very briefly. I, too, will miss her fabulous contributions to Jane World ❤️

What a joy to read this essay now! I'm a Joni Mitchell fan since the 1970s, starting with the sublime "Blue" ❤️
And I've been rapturously listening to her new compilation "Joni's Jazz" (revisiting Hejira, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter, etc.)
Serendipity!

A Voyage Around Joni Mitchell
Zadie Smith on her relationship to the singer, from 2012: “I hated Joni Mitchell—and then I loved her. Her voice did nothing for me—until the day it undid me completely.”

Fun read! I just bought the Kennections book, & I'm wondering where does the book leave off compared to the ongoing quizzes on Mental Floss? What Mental Floss puzzle number is the last one included in the book? I want to continue doing the online Mental Floss puzzles, too 🙂
