About the Book
By Madeline Bocaro
An insightful, all-embracing look at Yoko Ono’s life and work in stunning detail.
This book is for anyone who is interested in learning about the extraordinary woman whom John Lennon loved. It is a deep exploration of the artist’s heritage, childhood, philosophy, struggles, feminism and activism – including the passionate love story of John and Yoko.
Ono’s fascinating life goes way beyond what most people know. We visit Yoko’s inner and outer worlds. You will be touched by her wit and wisdom, her spiritual nature and her intent.
Her life story spans thirty-three years before meeting John Lennon, twelve years with him, and over forty years of creativity since his death.
Yoko breaks down the boundaries between art and life. Her enchanting philosophy and uplifting positivity are irresistible. She shows us the truth – with sincerity and humor, enlightening us to our own superpowers.
Ono’s work is unfinished – to be completed in your mind.
Her art is on the ceiling, on the floor and in the sky. It is invisible – a wind, a whisper, a scream. It is imagining one thousand suns rising, a billion universes, stealing moonlight on the water… Ono’s music and films are an extension of her art. This book covers every aspect of her life and work.
Yoko’s incredible body of work expresses all the joy and sorrow of an exceptional lifetime.
