Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono by Yoko Ono

5.0

This is a delightful, tender, enigmatic little book. It tricks you into thinking it is simple: its childlike tone and easy playfulness belie a cutting wit and sophisticated artistic intent that can only come from someone with the expansive, idiosyncratic mind of its author. I am not an avid reader of poetry, but some of the pieces in here are among the best poems I’ve ever read. Each one is like a small door to some imaginary but no less real place where a house can be built of light, where orchestra audiences can fly, where a painting can be made with all the blood in your body.
