HOT ORANGE SQUASH SKY by Alex George

A5, 36 pages, black and white printing, saddle stitched, 2021

Alex George has put his world in a frying pan and rustled up something delicious. There’s plenty of delightful, slightly deranged whimsy in hot orange squash sky, but don’t be fooled – those big shrimp clouds and brains with legs belie an enviable sincerity of feeling. This collection is saturated in genuine warmth, even on its coldest days, and paints its narrator’s month of isolation with such immediacy – and in such lovely colours – that, frankly, this book makes me sad I didn’t write it. — Alex Aldred

Hot Orange Squash Sky invites you to feel a month slipping through your fingers. It’s written in real-time, recorded and lived in one breath, refreshing and expiring in every line. It withers and grows. It trembles and soars. The book opens further with every turned page. This is an astonishing debut collection – beautiful, tender, and life-affirming. Truly excellent stuff. Not one to be missed. — Dan Power
