My guest today is the author and poet, Amy Key, whose debut novel, 'Arrangements in Blue: Notes on Love and Making a Life', came out last month.

Inspired by Joni Mitchell’s seminal 1971 album Blue, the book is a poignant exploration of what it means to live without romantic love. Writing with great honesty and vulnerability - and also, beauty - Amy recounts her, often painful attempts to reconcile with her long-term single status in a world obsessed with coupledom. But Arrangements in Blue is also a celebration of the joys of solitude and a manifesto for the importance of decentering romantic love in our lives and pouring into all the other relationships and practices that sustain us.

I hope you enjoy our conversation!
