Alex Alberto Reads from Entwined: Essays on Polyamory and Creating Home (w Aly Tadros)

Alex Alberto, author of Entwined: Essays on Polyamory and Creating Home, read Fragments for My Metamour (Do I Still Call You My Metamour?)--one of the Entwined essays-- to Aly Tadros, the actual metamour from the title, at the book's launch party at Books are Magic in Brooklyn, NY. Alex incorporated songs from Aly's albums into the love letter, and Aly accompanied Alex at the launch. ENTWINED BOOK DESCRIPTION In a series of genre-blending essays, Entwined tells the story of Alex Alberto’s decade-long polyamorous journey towards a new kind of family. In these essays, Alex attempts to build two committed relationships at once when no one involved has done it before; develops a powerful bond with the woman their partner loves; sits through a tense Thanksgiving Dinner with religious in-laws; questions the need for rules and hierarchy in their relationships; experiences the intensity of a triad; wrestles with the fragility baked into the nuclear family after their father’s stroke; and explores their queerness and gender identity in English, in New York, while struggling to reconcile their newfound self in their native French-Canadian language and culture. Entwined explores the fuzzy lines between friendship, romance, and family with various essay forms, including a play, an advice column, and a love letter. Rather than wallowing in the throes of jealousy, this collection celebrates the hard work of creating a love life that resists conventional narratives. “Entwined is a goddamn bible for poly-curious people.” —Chloe Caldwell (she/her), 37, questioning “Entwined is about the desire to create a life outside of capitalism, heteronormativity, and patriarchy.” —Samantha Paige Rosen (she/her), 33, queer and monogamous “Entwined had me captivated from start to finish.
