I was delighted to receive my print copy of Purple Prose: Bisexuality in Britain a couple of weeks ago. It’s a great book about what being bisexual is really like, as told by people who are, and who aren’t apologising for it.
It tackles some of the most biphobic myths head-on and equips the reader to reject them. It talks about being bisexual and disabled, being bisexual at work, being bisexual as a person of faith, being bisexual as a person of colour, about different configurations of relationships… the list goes on. There’s a real sense of community about it. I wish I’d read it years ago; it would have saved me unutterable quantities of angst.
My (admittedly still somewhat angsty) poem on bisexuality, marriage and vocation concludes the chapter on bisexuality and religion, and I’m proud to have been part of this project.
It’s published by Thorntree Press and is available for pre-order on Amazon now.
It’s going to be available on Itunes, I just saw. I’m not bi, but I’d love to get it. Sounds like an interesting read.
