and committed relationships and how they have challenged, shaped, supported and changed them. The stories and poems in this collection delve deep into the mysteries of long-term bonds. The authors cover a gamut of issues and ideas--everything from everyday conflicts to deep philosophical divides, as well as jealousy, adultery, physical or mental illness, and loss. There's happiness here too, along with love and companionship, whether the long-term partnering is monogamous, polyamorous, same-sex or otherwise.

Les pages et chapitres (chroniques intérieures; histoire, politique, polémique; critique; fragments sous forme de dictionnaire; etc) permettent au lecteur de juger de la vivacité, de la variété et du caractère audacieux d'une oeuvre, d'abord censurée, puis méconnue.
