REVIEWS (5)
September, 2025 — ZZOO review by rob mclennan (on the ROBMCLENNAN.BLOGSPOT.COM review site): “There is a bounce and clatter, but one of a density of lyric, one that works to interrogate relations and interrelations, offering a collaborative language between and across language, sparking a binary through a binary, and where they might possibly connect. The poems are layered and sharp ….”
September, 2025 — ZZOO review by Matt Boylan (in issue no. 8 of THE AMPERSAND REVIEW print journal): “Most impressive throughout ZZOO is MA|DE’s extraordinary attention to detail, and their almost bibliophilic attention to the composition of each poem. Close readers will feel the heart imbued within the writing, the passion behind the work’s creation, and the genuine, contagious belief in the message. It seems that we live in a culture that is increasingly removing itself from natural experience, and ZZOO is a refreshing step back, away from—or perhaps across—the divide. It is fresh, authentic, genuine, and a truly deep piece of work that warrants attention and admiration; it fences in a small but powerful world that poetry lovers will want to revisit again and again to observe language on display in an artful facsimile of its natural habitat.”
March, 2025 — ZZOO review by Lisa de Nikolits (on the A TURN OF PHRASE review Substack): “What I love about ZZOO is that encapsulates the now with vivid, original and often mind-blowing artistic expressions, urging us to reconsider, to look, to see, to think boldly, to embrace the thinning differentiation between us and animals, as we self-mutate away from the human and into an unknown genre.”
March, 2021 — A Trip to the ZZOO review by Bryce Warnes (on THE PAMPHLETEER website): “In A Trip to the ZZOO, MA|DE train Kingdom Animalia to stutter and glitch. Jellyfish, tardigrades and wolves find equal footing; anorexia, condominiums and Trash Mountain take on a brittle, pulsing life of their own.”
February, 2021 — A Trip to the ZZOO review by Jeremy Colangelo (in issue 14 of THE /TƐMZ/ REVIEW): “… an exciting, stimulating read, full of poems as thoughtful as they are beautiful. Poetry like this is much like a river — something that becomes different, and makes you different, every time you plunge in.”
