ALL LIT UP’s 2025 ‘World Poetry Day’ Reading Recommendations!


World Poetry Day is celebrated on 21 March, and was declared by UNESCO in 1999, “with the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard”.

Amazing to see ZZOO is a part of ALL LIT UP’s ‘30 must-read poetry collections’ list, recommended to help celebrate this special day — thanks for including us alongside so many other interesting artists (like Jessica Bebenek, Kyle Flemmer, Tea Gerbeza, Amy LeBlanc, Joseph Maviglia and Cecily Nicholson to name a few!)

ALL LIT UP interviews MA|DE


“Part of our guiding ethos as MA|DE is a sense that we should optimally function like an indie band, with the publisher acting as a label. It’s crucial for us to be actively involved in every stage of the book’s life cycle—including writing, editing, designing, marketing and touring.”

ALL LIT UP talked to Mark Laliberte & Jade Wallace, the duo behind MA|DE, about their collaborative process and their new book ZZOO (order here), which has FIVE very striking covers so that readers can select their favourite!
