#189 - Page Turner Author of “Poly Land"
This week the Beast talks with Page Turner about her new book, “Poly Land: My Brutally Honest Adventures in Polyamory”. Moving away from the sugar-coated honor-student answers, Page Turner leaves little to the imagination about opening a marriage, while exploring her bisexuality and self-worth. Travel through a complicated polyamorous web, in which her partners do their best to sabotage each other, break the rules, and eventually commit assault.
Update: Page has updated some info on her new book here…
It's called A Geek's Guide to Unicorn Ranching: Advice for Couples Looking for Another Partner.Here it is on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077GKK98H Here’s some background:About a year ago, I got a letter from someone asking if I had any advice for couples opening up, which inspired me to write this post: https://poly.land/2016/11/14/unicorn-ranchers-sanct……They wrote back quoting this line from the piece: "f you’re looking for a unicorn, as many are, don’t be the hunting kind. Be the spoiling kind. Be unicorn ranchers."And a single word "How?"They told me they'd read all the basic poly books I'd recommended to them and that they didn't help but that my writing did.And they weren't the only ones! I kept getting letters like that. They were my most frequently asked questions.I started to see that there was a need for a quickstart guide to polyamory. Something that was an entertaining read, full of substantive information but easy to get through. Because a book that doesn't get read helps no one.Something funny, non-judgemental, based in research.This book needed to exist. And I was just the nerd to make it happen.Here are some things the guide covers:
• The steps you should take before opening up your relationship to make sure you’re on the same page
• How to set a relationship agreement (including examples of actual relationship agreements)
• The different kinds of polyamorous relationship structures and systems
• Common pitfalls newly poly couples face and how to avoid them
• The high-success method for dating poly people
• Effective ways to manage jealousy and insecurity
