Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky
This lyrical biography explores the life and art of Yoko Ono, from her childhood haiku to her avant-garde visual art and experimental music. An outcast throughout most of her life, and misunderstood by every group she was supposed to belong to, Yoko always followed her own unique vision to create art that was ahead of its time and would later be celebrated. Her focus remained on being an artist, even when the rest of world saw her only as the wife of John Lennon. Yoko Ono’s moving story will inspire any young adult who has ever felt like an outsider, or who is developing or questioning ideas about being an artist, to follow their dreams and find beauty in all that surrounds them.

"This was a good biography, I really appreciated all the images and quotes supplied throughout to flesh out the information. Having read Reaching Out With No Hands: Reconsidering Yoko Ono before this one, it was a hard act to follow and I was not wowed by this one. This biography was highly informational and linear in comparison, less poetic and cognitive. If you are looking to learn about Yoko Ono in a straightforward, thorough, and non immersive way, this is the right biography to go with."
