Touring is a slog, but the precious time onstage off-loading raw emotions in front of an audience is … everything. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePope also writes heartbreakingly about the loss of her musical, magical soulmate, Kevan Staples, co-creator of Rough Trade, the band that ushered Canada from punk to new wave and an international sensation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book crescendos with an unexpected reckoning: a documentary about her life forces Pope to confront her impact, as voices like k.d. lang, Nona Hendryx, and Sebastian Bach speak to her legacy. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnti Diva Deux\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a memoir — it’s a testament to artistic defiance, creative obsession, queer identity, and the price of living without compromise.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46168089493695,"sku":"9781770417724","price":37.79,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/anti-diva-deux-a-trailblazers-life-in-music-and-rebellion-tpb","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
