The following are articles about polyamory. There’s no real rhyme or reason to why something shows up here and something doesn’t, although some are about us or mention us, and others came to my (Jay’s) attention because they were mentioned on the Poly Boston announce or chat list.

  • “Love’s new frontier” is an extensive (and sympathetic) article on polyamory by journalist Sandra Miller in the Boston area due which appeared in the January 3, 2010, issue of the Boston Globe’s Sunday magazine. Poly Boston features prominently. The web version of the article features a short video. (You can also link to the article with the shorter URL http://tinyurl.com/polybostonglobe.)
  • The author of the above article, Sandra Miller, appeared on Fox25 Morning News on January 4, 2010, to discuss what she learned writing the article. Here’s the video. It’s definitely worth watching.
  • The Boston Herald did a very short and stunningly inaccurate article on polyamory in the Boston area in May 2006. It’s not online any more (as far as I can tell), but Poly in the Media’s Alan M. posted a scathing review of it at the time.
  • The one-page Boston Magazine article “Multiply Your Love” that appeared about us in June of 2003 is now on line (along with a bunch of other short articles on the same page).
  • The June 2003 issue of Boston Magazine has a short and generally favorable article by Michael Blanding on page 75 about Poly Boston, which describes one of our discussion groups. (Our events do not normally end up in the press; in this case we announced the event and the reporter’s presence well in advance.) Alan W. and Michelle W. are quoted by name, and two other regulars have comments as well. Unfortunately Boston Magazine don’t have this article on the web at the moment (they might archive it in future months).
  • The Boston Phoenix did a more elaborate article on us in 1998, ‘Free Love Grows Up’, including a short glossary and bibliography. (Love Without Bounds, mentioned in that article, no longer meets, but many of the people who attended its meetings are now involved with Poly Boston.) Alan and Sean are quoted, as are a number of national poly figures (and some researchers).
  • “More than One: One woman’s path to polyamory”, by M. Volkova.
    This appeared in MetroActive, a San Francisco-area online paper.
  • Bobbi Keppel and Alan Hamilton have generously made available a column Bobbi wrote for Interweave World about Bobbi’s multi-adult family (with many people in it who were not necessarily lovers), and her children’s experiences in it.
