“The revolution will be feathered.”

In this unabashedly horny and experimental ride through gender identity, chronic illness, sex and the self, poet and activist George Parker digs into what it means to exist and how a person moves through a world that doesn’t always understand - or want to understand - life outside the binary.

Expressing frustrations and adorations, challenging social norms and encouraging us to question everything we’ve been told about the way things are, Gynandromorph is a poetry collection that will sit, enthusiastically, on the most tender parts of your psyche.

“When I pick up collections of poetry, I never expect to see myself in any capacity. My story of queerness and disability often has no place in the prose of poetry – relegated instead to textbooks or underviewed policy reports or theses that go unread. You can imagine my surprise when... I saw my story come to life. I was stopped in my tracks as I read their words – ones that so eloquently, unapologetically put my story front and center. The way Parker weaves sexuality, disability alongside the stark realities of living in the margins of disability is something to behold, cherish and above all else, listen to.”
