The legendary Joan Baez is as well known for her folk music as she is for her long commitment to social justice and activism. From appearing on the cover of Time Magazine at the age of twenty-one to performing alongside Martin Luther King Jr, Baez’s sense of commitment and unmistakable voice has made her an icon of the 1960s folk scene. Alongside her evolving musical career, which saw her awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy’s and inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Baez remained deeply committed to social and political matters, lending her voice to many concerts for a variety of causes. A life-long writer of poetry, her first collection was published this year. _When You See My Mother, Ask Her To Dance _is an intimate, autobiographical collection in which she shares poems for or about her contemporaries (such as Bob Dylan, Judy Collins and Jimi Hendrix), reflections from her childhood, personal thoughts and cherished memories of her family. Speaking to the people and places that have had the greatest impact on her, this collection is an inspiring personal diary in the form of poetry. Seamus Heaney HomePlace is honoured to welcome Joan to The Helicon for an afternoon of conversation and poetry in the company of Paul Muldoon.Don’t miss this unique opportunity to spend time in the company of an artist who has inspired millions through her work and life.
