This week in The Labia Lounge I have Clementine Morrigan back on for our second episode together! What an epic human, honestly. This chat didn't disappoint and was just as enlightening, nuanced, and…
Clementine MorriganGuestFreya GrafHostIf you haven't checked out our first episode, it's a really incredible talk about surviving childhood sexual abuse, incest, and cancel culture, and the intersections and sort of similarities or parallels between those things, which are seemingly very unrelated, but go check the episode out 'cause they're not.
Um, and today we're gonna be talking about the topic of Clementine's upcoming book, which is called Love Without Emergency: Polyamory That Doesn't Destroy You, and it's a cr- recreation of zines about trauma-informed polyamory that she wrote years ago as a resource for those who are feeling like they want this form of relating, but they feel like they're going to die, which is just such an on-point way [chuckles] of describing how it can feel when you're trying to navigate polyamory.
It's like, "I want this, but I feel like I'm dying." Um, so we're gonna, we're gonna get stuck into some, like, practical and validating, uh, and hopefully insightful tools and discussions around that and around the content of this book, which you can pre-order.
Clementine Morrigan is an underground writer, cultural change maker, moral philosopher, and brazen truth teller.
She is the author of numerous zines and books, including the cult classic zine, Love Without Emergency, which will be released as a book with Microcosm Press in 2027.
Her popular zine series, Fucking Magic, was released as a book with Revolutionaries Press in 2025.
Her work is known for its unflinching engagement with taboo and difficult topics, something I can relate on, and she works for a world where the dignity of all beings is recognized and protected, and that's why we fucking jam so well.
