Table of ContentsReviews"""Porpora Marcasciano says of this electrifying memoir that, if she could, she would have written it in verse to better capture the wild anarchic energy of the world that fueled her activism. No need. Her life story is poetry enough. What a gift to English speakers for her story to find us now, when we need the inspiration of as much wild anarchic energy as possible."" -- Susan Stryker * author of Transgender History: The Roots of Today's Revolution * ""A fascinating look into Italy's radical queer and trans cultures and their fraught relationship with wider left-wing politics, Marcasciano's AntoloGaia is just as much a guide to how to live one's life with courage, conviction, and creativity."" -- Juliet Jacques * author of Trans: A Memoir * ""This is a book of exploration—of gender, of one’s life, of things one has dared to dream. Like the people we meet, the stories Porpora Marcasciano tells are cradled in a radical trans love, and isn't that one of the best kinds of love? As you read, you too will be cradled and never abandoned."" -- Marquis Bey * author of Black Trans Feminism * ""This trans memoir by Porpora Marcasciano, someone who felt born into the wrong world, could not come at a better time. Sexual rights for minorities have been on the map since humans have shared their feelings about being in the world, and what a fitting opportunity that a trans story from 1970s Italy has come to light in this beautiful translation."" -- Bernadette Wegenstein * coeditor of Radical Equalities and Global Feminist Filmmaking: An Anthology * ""Marcasciano's life is a valuable part of trans history, and her account of the queer movement in Italy during the chaotic 1970s is eye-opening."" -- Diana Goetsch * author of This Body I Wore: A Memoir *" """This is a book of exploration--of gender, of one's life, of things one has dared to dream.
