“The book… is never polemical but instead acts as our guide through the various confusions and feelings that Anna has experienced over the years…The reader is positioned as active throughout, encouraging us to pause and reflect not just on Anna’s words, but on ourselves as well. It’s an exploration, not a speech, and Anna has been careful not to position herself as a ‘spokesperson’ for bisexuality. As she says: “every time I say I'm bisexual, [people assume that I] represent a whole group of people, and I don't actually feel that way. I always hope for people to ask me ‘what does Bi mean?’ instead of [just assuming they understand it]. 1/2

2/2 Her weaving of poetry and prose has allowed her to tackle this goal, as she pinpoints the flavour of each chapter within her opening poems and gives herself the space and time to develop her own answer to that question of ‘what does Bi mean?’ Utilising poetry as a significantly personal form of narrative construction, in the same way that the identity an individual holds is equally unique.” – Queermunity Mag

“The areas where we find it most difficult to exist as bisexuals, are the most vulnerable parts of patriarchy.” - Anna Kochetkova

“Bisexuality has yet to see its liberation from the grip of stigma and misunderstanding. As we continue evolving our language, inviting more self-awareness and acceptance, conversations like the one in this book can become more possible.” - Anna Kochetkova

I put my pen to paper

To tell the world who I am

Because I want them to know

All that I am.

I write the words I am unable to say. - Anna Kochetkova
