A lyrical, research-driven portrait of Joni Mitchell that explores her music, words, and inner life through her own voice.

Joni Mitchell, Chords of Inquiry is not just another biography--it's a lyrical, investigative journey into the mind and music of one of the most influential and enigmatic artists of our time. While countless writers have chronicled Joni Mitchell's life through the lens of fame, romance, or scandal, this book takes a radically different approach: it listens.

Drawing from six decades of interviews, lyrics, public statements, and archival context, Chords of Inquiry weaves together Mitchell's own words to construct a narrative that is as complex, poetic, and fiercely honest as the artist herself. Rather than retelling her life in neat chapters, the book mirrors the rhythm of her creative evolution--unfolding like a Joni Mitchell album: rich with contradiction, beauty, heartbreak, and defiance.

Through meticulous research and immersive storytelling, the book places Joni's personal journey within the larger cultural and political movements that shaped her, offering new insight into how she both influenced and resisted the times she lived through. From the windswept prairies of Saskatchewan to the smoky coffeehouses of Toronto and the rebellion of Laurel Canyon, this is the first biography that attempts to understand not just what Joni Mitchell did, but how she felt.

No sensationalism. No filters. Just Joni--through her chords, her poetry, and the lens she gave us all along.
