Description
Poly Styrene: A Life in Colour Poly Styrene was a true punk icon, a singer-songwriter, artist, and free-thinker who defied conventions with her vibrant style and sharp wit. This book, written by her daughter Celeste Bell and writer/artist Zoë Howe, is the first comprehensive account of Poly's inspiring and often moving life. From her mixed-race upbringing in 1960s London to her rise to fame with X-Ray Spex in the 1970s, Poly's story is one of creativity, spirituality, and perseverance. The book explores her experiences as a single mother, her struggles with mental health, and her journey with the Hare Krishna movement. Through interviews with those who knew and loved Poly, including Vivienne Westwood and Neneh Cherry, this oral history book offers a unique and intimate portrait of a remarkable woman. With its richly detailed and deeply personal account, Dayglo! is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of punk, music, and art.
