Polyamory - Loving in more ways
Mairi
"I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often." — Anaïs Nin
Love, family and relationships beyond heteronormative coupledom is increasingly common, and we love how popular books exploring poly and ethically non-monogamous relationships, and queer family have become in the bookshop!
"The point for me is to create relationships based on deeper and more real notions of trust. So that love becomes defined not by sexual exclusivity, but by actual respect, concern, commitment to act with kind intentions, accountability for our actions, and a desire for mutual growth." — Dean Spade
Here's a wee collection across fiction and nonfiction, some introductory and some for old hands - dive in.
