Katherine Monk Orden de los libros

Joni Mitchell's journey in music defies industry norms, starting from her early coffee-house performances to gaining creative control over her work. Unlike her contemporaries who focused on feminism, she explored her personal experiences and emotions. While arena rock dominated, she embraced jazz, and her critical view of icons like Bob Dylan showcased her unique perspective. Often seen as both a diva and a genius, Mitchell's true recognition as a profound artist and thinker remains elusive, highlighting her complex relationship with the music industry.

Monk is tired of hearing critics bash Canadian film and culture generally, and lionizing mediocre talent just because it hails from south of the border. A music critic and entertainment writer for the Vancouver Sun and Canadian radio, she looks at over 100 Canadian films and hears from filmmakers in order to capture the essence of the Canadian film experience.
