Unveiling the Untold Stories Behind Joni Mitchell’s Iconic Music in Paul Lisicky’s Riveting New Memoir
On the subject of music and language Lisicky continues, “Music offered polarity. Music made sure the song wouldn’t be received in one direction but several.” The freedom music offers is freedom that reverberates in language. Music’s polarity is an echo of the novel’s choose your own adventure; it is an echo of the personal experience in reader response; it is an echo of the author’s lived experience; it is an echo in the stark contrast of a soliloquy; it is an echo of the polarity of poetic form and content; and foremost it is an echo of language’s contractions.
