From the depths of the oceans to the outer reaches of the sky, a menagerie of species take turns in the limelight in a debut collaborative poetry collection by two UWindsor grads.

Mark Laliberte (BFA 1995) and Jade Wallace (MA 2021) write together under the moniker MA|DE. Their new book ZZOO explores the boundaries between human and animal life in four spheres: land, air, sea, and elsewhere.

Published by the Windsor-based Palimpsest Press with five variant covers, ZZOO will enjoy a free public launch at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 26, at Biblioasis Bookshop, 1520 Wyandotte St. East.

The event promises guest readings by local author Anne Baldo and UWindsor creative writing professors Louis Cabri and Nicole Markotic.
