I did an interview with her a few months before she died. It is not fully transcribed yet as there was a lot of electrical interference ( I was recording it from a phone with a dictaphone).
I am having the tape cleaned up soon and will send you a transcript.
Best wishes
Heen

You know, right before Poly died there were some interviews that discussed her journey to womanhood. Let's face it -- in X-Ray Spex she was still a teenager.
I wish she were still around so I could ask her about that journey. It's obviously from the album that came out recently that she has grown and dealt with her condition well. I seek inspiration from her in that regard because I identify with her so much.
Please send links to interviews discussing her growth and maturation.
It's research for my blog (baldgrrrl.tumblr.com) and memoir.
