An Evening With Joan Baez on Am I Pretty When I Fly?: An Album of Upside Down Drawings in Conversation With Broken Record Podcaster Justin Richmond

From legendary singer and social justice activist Joan Baez comes an album of drawings that feel like a long, funny letter from an old friend. Since retiring from active performing, Baez has focused her formidable talents on painting and drawing, and this collection of her work – lovingly loose and charming sketches on recurring themes such as politics, relationships, women, animals, and family – shows another, insightful side of her. Each section, organized thematically, includes an introductory piece by the artist. Baez approaches her line drawings as exercises in freedom: She begins drawing upside down, often using her nondominant hand, without any preconceived notion of where the lines might lead her.
