PAGE FRIGHT interviews MA|DE (episode 105 — “Getting Uncomfortable in Your Poems”)

In MA|DE‘s first appearance on the PAGE FRIGHT podcast (episode 105), we talked with podcaster-poet Andrew French about our debut collection ZZOO, the challenges of collaboration, what we both have learned from each other, balancing a thousand different projects at once, writing poetry about animals, how performance factors into our writing (thanks to Annick MacAskill‘s question from the last episode), and getting out of artistic ruts, all in just under an hour.

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!
