From legendary singer and social justice activist JOAN BAEZ comes Am I Pretty When I Fly?: An Album of Upside Down Drawings, which feels 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. Joining Baez to discuss her book is Broken Record podcast host JUSTIN RICHMOND.
