Some of our photos show vases to give an idea of size and possibilities for arrangement but no vases or planters are included with these flowers The “right” way to engage with romance is an idea we all carry around with us, shifting it into different shapes as new information comes to us through music, celebrity couples, films, social media, and the people we interact with from day to day. Our guardians are the first to model love for us, and our relationships with them tend to influence how we relate to others throughout our lives. Key describes how her life as one of five children in a house full of second-hand furniture to parents who did not appear to love one another planted seeds of want in her. Other relationships she witnessed, including that of her maternal grandparents, were antithetical to her parents’ in that each person had a role they seemed to relish and lived harmoniously with their partner. For the author, healthy love is, and is born of, safety. Her grandparents in particular demonstrated this. Although Key took care to create a warm home environment for herself that many friends and family members have enjoyed, what she calls her “if you build it, they will come” approach has yet to attract the right romantic partner. The unspoken expectation when reading about someone—especially a woman—who has tried in various ways to summon and cultivate romantic love in her life is that it will eventually work. There will be an afterward where we discover that learning all of these lessons lead the writer to her goal. But this is decidedly not the point of Arrangements in Blue. I think this book will do for single women what Sheila Heti’s motherhood did for those who are ambivalent about having children — in giving them a voice it creates a validating solidarity, and encourages those who read it to reevaluate their treatment/assumptions of the people in their lives who live alone.A Mixed Flower Bouquet costs §68 to craft and sells for §85.

Cottage garden flowers in potsI’m not saying I wish the things that have been personally important for me were commodified in the same way as, say, a wedding might be,” she writes. “But I do wish the culture I grew up in was not so unimaginative and hierarchical in its ability to recognise other life transitions that might be worth marking.” When poet Amy Key was growing up, she looked forward to a life shaped by romance, fuelled by desire, longing and the conventional markers of success that come when you share a life with another person. But that didn't happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love. As the album that shaped the author's understanding and expectations about romantic love at an early age, and which continues to offer comfort and sonic companionship, Blue works here as both a device for her to structure her "own chords of inquiry" and the object she reinterprets in light of this journey. Ultimately, however, Key seeks the vulnerability and emotion of the music to decode her own. In thus examining the life she is making for herself, she attempts to cultivate a new vocabulary of pleasure, one which honours and appreciates moments of quiet transformation but also allows for grief, ambivalence, and all the complex textures of life to exist and take up room. I was attracted to this practice in vulnerability, but sometimes it felt like the author's lamenting left little room for finding genuine appreciation of joy.

i bought this book at Shakespeare and Company, alongside “Things I Don’t Want to Know About”, by Deborah Levy — non-fiction is the genre I have been most interested in this year, and my current obsession with blue covers paved the way for this “double bill”. Arrangements in Blue” had everything to be a book I loved: Joni Mitchell’s Blue, one of the formative albums of my life, analyzed through the eyes of a woman’s life, each chapter a theme (grief, love, home life, vacations). I loved the concept of this book, a personal analysis of romantic attachment and its dearth for the author, a modern trope of the singleton life but which has a far longer history. It is intricately examined under her personal microscope. This does not alleviate her yearning for romantic love and being part of a couple, but her contemplations also reveal the abundance in her life, particularly her family of cats and friends, and the joy she finds in her home. Particularly poignant are Key’s musings about her close and complicated friendship with British poet and mentor, Roddy Lumsden, who passed away in 2020.Plant list 1: Canna ‘Australia’, Canna ‘Tropicanna Gold’, Infinity Orange New Guinea Impatiens, ‘Hot Shot’ Orange portulaca, Begonia boliviensis, ‘Orange Marmalade’ Crossandra, Sweet Caroline Bronze Sweet Potato Vine.
