Lyra Kilston

Sun Seekers: The Cure of California (Atelier Éditions, 2019), looks at three moments in Southern California history and the many eccentric newcomers—from fervent nature-cure healers to modern architects to barefoot vegetarian hermits—who built up the region’s renown as a center for healthy, natural lifestyles long before the 1960s.


Lyra is a writer and editor in Los Angeles focused on architecture, ecology, design, art, urbanism, oddballs, and lesser-known histories. Like Southern Californians of a century past, she enjoys curative sun baths. She’s at work on her second book.
