SUMMARY:More Than Two\, Second Edition: Book Launch and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us and Eve Rickert & Andrea Zanin for the release of More Than Two\, Second Edition. Cultivating nonmonogamous relationships with kindness and integrity\, in conversation with Carrie Jenkins. \nVenue & Accessibility\nThe event will be hosted at the Massy Arts Gallery\, at 23 East Pender Street in Chinatown\, Vancouver.\nRegistration is free\, open to all and required for entrance.

We ask if you are showing symptoms\, that you stay home. Thank you kindly. \nAbout the Book\nMore Than Two\, Second Edition: Cultivating Nonmonogamous Relationships with Kindness and Integrity. by Eve Rickert and Andrea Zanin\, with a foreword by Dr. Kim TallBear\, author of The Critical Polyamorist. \n“A modern topology of nonmonogamy’s many possibilities—and consequences—fully revised and updated on the tenth anniversary of the bestselling first edition” \n“Can you love more than one person?” A lot of conversations about nonmonogamy start this way. When we discuss “opening”relationships\, contemplate whether we want to beexclusive with our partners\, or introduce multiple partners tofriends and family\, we are asking the people in our lives\, and ourselves\, to contend with this question. The answer is obvious\, and misleading. The love one feels in their heart and the love one expresses through daily acts of care and affection are both “love” in the true sense\, but they have different requirements\, present different options and produce different outcomes. \nMore Than Two can’t promise outcomes\, but it is a guide to the paths—from anchor or nesting partnerships to relationship anarchy—possible within nonmonogamy. This long-awaited second edition bridges emerging theories on attachment and relationship diversity with authors Eve Rickert and Andrea Zanin’s insight and experience. The arcs of nonmonogamous partnerships bend towards complexity\, introspection and compromise—or at least they can\, if we work at it. \nAbout the Authors\nEve Rickert is a Gen X\, queer\, solo polyamorous\, relationship anarchist\, neurodivergent cis woman living on unceded WSÁNEC and Lekwungen territory on the west coast of the place currently known as Canada. She is the curator of the More Than Two Essentials series and the nonmonogamy resource site morethantwo.ca\, the founder and publisher of Thornapple Press\, and the founder and mastermind of the science communications firm Talk Science to Me. \nAndrea Zanin\, MA\, is a white\, nonbinary\, middle-aged queer writer who lives in Tkaronto (Toronto\, Ontario)\, on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit\, the Anishnabeg\, the Chippewa\, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Andrea is the author of Post-Nonmonogamy and Beyond\, part of the More Than Two Essentials series\, and has written for the Globe and Mail\, The Tyee\, Bitch\, Ms.\, Xtra\, IN Magazine\, Outlooks Magazine and the Montreal Mirror. Andrea blogs at sexgeek.wordpress.com\, where they created the 10 Rules for Happy Nonmonogamy and coined the term “polynormativity.” \nAbout the Moderator\nCarrie Jenkins: is a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia and the author of What Love Is (and What it Could Be)\, Sad Love: Romance and the Search for Meaning\, and Nonmonogamy and Happiness as well as other titles.
