The Poly Styrene Story","description":"Binding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: Poly Styrene was a singer - songwriter a free - thinker a post - modern style pioneer and a lifelong spiritual seeker: a true punk icon. But this rebel queen with the cheeky grin was also a latter - day pop artist with a wickedly perceptive gift for satirizing the world around her her playful aesthetic sharply at odds with the stark monochrome style and nihilism of punk. Here for the first time the jigsaw of Poly's inspiring and often moving story has been lovingly pieced together by her daughter singer - songwriter Celeste Bell and writer - artist Zo Howe. From growing up mixed - race in Brixton in the 1960s to being at the forefront of the emerging punk scene with X - Ray Spex in the 1970s from finding faith with the Hare Krishna movement to balancing single motherhood with a solo music career and often debilitating mental health issues the book openly explores Poly's exceptional life up until her untimely passing in 2011. Based on interviews with those who knew and loved Poly whether personally or through music this oral history book includes testimonies from Vivienne Westwood Don Letts Glen Matlock Jonathan Ross Neneh Cherry The Slits Tessa Pollitt Thurston Moore Jon Savage and many others.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Dayglo!
