Are you planning on writing some posts about it once you're read some more on it? If so, I'd be interested in what you have to say.

This page is a good start, if from a pagan perspective.

There's polyamory.org, which is the alt.polyamory website.

Thanks for the help! Keep it coming!

I'm looking for resources b/c my guy and I are sort of in a point in our relationship where it seems like that would make sense, but we're unsure of how to move forward.

Also, I do want to use the blog as a space to explore my thoughts and feelings on it with a feminist and political take on it, as always. I think there's a lot to be said about the way a patriarchy as we conceive it has a way of forcing completely monogamous relationships, so there's a lot there to talk about.

Helen Fisher's Anatomy of Love explains why polyamory isn't the norm based on our reproductive and resource needs.

It's a fascinating read.

Here from Feministe! My girlfriend makes all new partners read Dossie Easton & Janet Hardy's The Ethical Slut. A new edition is coming out in a few months. It's not some kind of poly textbook (though many treat it as such!), but it's a great place to start.

From an experiential, first-person standpoint, Jenny Block's reflections on open relationship are very readable and (for me anyway) thought-provoking.

Write something, Sally! I think about these issues a fair amount, too, even though I'm in a long established marriage where renegotiating would be nearly impossible for a slew of reasons. Whatever you and your guy end up deciding, I think you're smart to discuss these questions now rather than later.

Wow, for some reason this didn't appear in my RSS feed until today! I am sorry I didn't see it sooner, or I would have commented/emailed weeks ago.

It's ok! I think with this whole strange Feedburner/Google merge thing is screwing up the feeds. I'd still love whatever feedback you have though.

I have just recently found your blog through Feministe. I have been living in an active triad (MFM) for almost ten years and it is nice to see some positive commentary coming out about the poly lifestyle.

Welcome, Donna!

Stay tuned for more about open relationships not only on the two posts I have planned for Feministe, but also posts I'll be writing in the future here at JotB.

Someone already said http://www.xeromag.com/fvpoly.html and I heartily endorse that. I also recommend the following (some of which I mentioned in your other blog post):
