Joan Baez changed- and charged- our world. She ignited so many social movements- anti-war, social justice, equal rights, through the sheer power of her voice. That voice could shatter anyone’s complacency, and could serve as a call to action or a balm. We cannot understate her impact.
It is with a different voice that Joan comes to us now and tells her most intimate stories: through her poems. Of course her songs are poems too, and her book, When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance, is a revelation of her life’s experience. We learn, through her poems, about her relationships with other iconic voices: Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and others. We learn, through her poems, about her experiences with family, filled with joy, elation, and grief. Consider this collection, When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance, a diary that tells us more than prose ever could.

ADD is an haiku !! amazing lady ♥
"strike another match", "go start a new" , and "the saints are coming through" are all lyrical lines from Bob Dylan's song "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" which she has covered before.
Did ms. Baez write the lyrics to the song “North”?
It’s a very fine song.
The little piggies poem affected my dog (I burst out laughing)
Wonderful interview. I have been a Joan Baez fan for years! I did make it to her Fare thee Well concert in Knoxville, Tn, and will now buy her poetry. Someone has written recently, and I'm sorry I don't know who it was, that "Joan Baez has her revenge on Dylan, because she has aged so gracefully, and he looks demonic."
