by Mel CassidyA provocative, trauma-informed guide to post-monogamy—how to build liberated relationships rooted in empowerment, equity, and authenticity With practical somatic exercises, reflection prompts and a relational toolkit—also includes a glossary of polyamory, non-monogamy, and alternative relationship termsThis book is for polyamorists who want to practice their non-monogamy with more feminism, more queerness, and more community building. It&’s for monogamists who don&’t want to do relationships on autopilot. It&’s for everyone who dearly believes a better way to love and live exists. It&’s for change makers who aspire to re-wild the ways we love.An empowering guide to imagining (and living) better relationships, Radical Relating pushes back on the monogamy mandate. Author, somatic educator, and relationship coach Mel Cassidy explodes the often-unquestioned mainstream myths about the nuclear family structure: those that tell us your soulmate must be your sole mate. That sex is the only yardstick of relational success. That self-sacrifice and self-denial are necessary trade-offs for security and partnership. That we need to ride the relationship escalator all the way up, or we&’ll die alone.In four sections, Cassidy explains the why, what, how, and where of the Radical Relating model. They:Lay out clear-eyed analysis about why monogamy isn&’t working and explain the harms of unquestioned internalized mono-normativityOffer Reflective Journaling prompts, Somatic Pauses, and practical wisdom for assembling your Relational ToolkitExplain the trauma-informed pillars of Radical Relating: Orientation, Resilience, Resolution, and EngagementHelp you reorient to a new map for relating that&’s queer, anarchist, and somatically integratedHelp you build skills to understand and navigate your relationship landscapeExplore the intersections of monogamy, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism and illuminate how monogamous relationship structures emerged with one goal in mind: to consolidate capitalMost books on non-monogamy focus on top-level logistics and play into beliefs that can inadvertently replicate oppressive structures. Radical Relating is different: it speaks to readers who want not only to open up their relationships or expand their sexual experiences, but claim a new and liberating ways to relate to each other, fulfill our authentic needs, and build true communities of care beyond monogamy.
Radical Wordsworth: The Poet Who Changed the World
by Jonathan BateOn the 250th anniversary of Wordsworth&’s birth comes a highly imaginative and vivid portrait of a revolutionary poet who embodied the spirit of his age Published in time for the 250th anniversary of William Wordsworth&’s birth, this is the biography of a great poetic genius, a revolutionary who changed the world. Wordsworth rejoiced in the French Revolution and played a central role in the cultural upheaval that we call the Romantic Revolution. He and his fellow Romantics changed forever the way we think about childhood, the sense of the self, our connection to the natural environment, and the purpose of poetry. But his was also a revolutionary life in the old sense of the word, insofar as his art was of memory, the return of the past, the circling back to childhood and youth. This beautifully written biography is purposefully fragmentary, momentary, and selective, opening up what Wordsworth called "the hiding-places of my power."
