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. Using Joni Mitchell's seminal album
Blue - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor  Arrangements in Blue elegantly
honours a life lived completely by  and for  oneself. Building a home  travelling alone

grief and failure. The result is a book which inspires us to live and love more honestly.
