About the Book

The memoir of a famous poet who is also a failed rock star, This Little Ziggy tells Martin Newall's adventures with a not particularly successful glam-rock band called Plod. The band came out of Colchester, England in 1974. Woven around the story of the band are chapters on ten years of Newall's life from 1964. Growing up in army quarters, pop obsession, the Far East, getting arrested, being busted for drugs and overdosing. Newall departs from memoir convention and runs the two stories in tandem rather than chronological order. Each story is complete in itself and Newall manages pathos and pure humour, making this an entertaining read.

About the Author :
Known as 'The Independent's Poet Laureate', Martin Newell is the most regularly published poet in the UK, with 2 poems appearing every week on the pages of The Independent. The first living poet to have had two poems appear on the front page of a British national newspaper, Newell has been writing and performing his very own brand of poetry since 1990. He has worked internationally as both a poet and a musician, has done a number of residencies in schools, has lectured at The Poetry Society and appears regularly on radio and television. He has had two weeks of featured poetry on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show and is a regular performance poet at clubs, pubs and arts and literature festivals (Cheltenham, Canterbury, Glastonbury etc).

Review :
"'Newell's poems are light of verse at its most intelligent, smartly-crafted, pissed off extreme...Newell is an original' - John Walsh, Literature Editor The Independent; 'Pithy and witty' - Q; 'Newell writes poetry of the elegantly wasted, witty, warm and wise variety. He is a dirty jewel and his poetry shines through the grime of his sleazy subject matter.' - The Big Issue"
