face-to-faces, an archive, from Kintsugi Books, is an experimental, hybrid, poetic narrative following the development and dissolution of a long-distance, polyamorous, kink relationship during the lockdown. Navigating the distance between the East Coast and the Midwest, a deadly virus, and the complications of open marriages, technology becomes the only aid for a queer couple seeking comfort and love in a terrifying time – not just for themselves, but for their families and the world. To help illustrate the complexities of the relationship in The Archives, photos, and QR codes (that link to digital audio clips) are woven into the text to lift the story off the page. Complex and contemplative, face-to-faces, an archive is astounding in both subject and methodology.
