One of the best books I've read this year Buzz Magazine

Not Your Orlando is a raw and tender, gender- and genre-fluid collaborative poetry pamphlet that glistens with sex and sweat. JP, George and Jaime explore life at the margins, the politics of sex and identity, the protest songs of late night dive bars, and the reality of being different in a straight-jacketed world. Strap on and strap in, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

This is a book full of feist and fury, wit and wonderment, tales of terror and tales of triumph. Structured into three sections - agitate, transmutate, celebrate - it takes us on a journey which encompasses its own 'Choose Life' rhetoric (this poem alone is worth the price of the book) on through club cloakrooms, transmasculine kisses, and encouragement to Cwtch Butch - the trials and the terribleness, the joy and the jubilation, are all here. It is utterly human and humane, heartbreaking and heart lifting. The language veers and soars, and is clever and captivating throughout, without even one iota of pretension or 'poor me' in any of it. It's one of the best books I've read this year. Read Not Your Orlando now, yourself, and let it fill you with wonder
