# Event Details - **Event Name**: MA|DE presents ‘ZZOO’ — KINGSTON launch w/ special guests Jason Heroux & Wanda Praamsma - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Jun, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 19 Jun, 2025 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us at Kingston's Novel Idea (156 Princess St) for the launch of the debut full-length collaborative poetry collection ZZOO by MA|DE (Mark Laliberte + Jade Wallace), published by Palimpsest Press! The evening will feature readings by MA|DE, Jason Heroux & Wanda Praamsma. -------------------------------- ABOUT the BOOK: -------------------------------- 'ZZOO' is a bestiary for the modern world! At a time when binaristic and hierarchical relations are being readily interrogated, MA|DE — a unity of two voices fused into a single, poetic third — takes up a critique of the human-animal divide in their full-length debut. From the depths of the oceans to the outer reaches of the sky, a menagerie of species trade off time in the limelight, none of them solely occupying the central space on the global stage. MA|DE’s collaborative practice foregrounds interdependence, outward focus, shared spaces and non-hierarchical thinking, all of which emerge allegorically in interzonal poems that are as richly realized as they are formally eclectic. This wild-blooded collection turns conventional exhibitionism on its head, treating humans and animals as equal subjects of art, science and selfhood. -------------------------------- ABOUT THE READERS: -------------------------------- Jason Heroux was the Poet Laureate for the City of Kingston from 2019 to 2022. He is the author of four books of poetry: Memoirs of an Alias (2004); Emergency Hallelujah (2008); Natural Capital (2012) and Hard Work Cheering Up Sad Machines (2016). His forthcoming books include a short fiction collection Survivors of the Hive (Radiant Press) and two poetry chapbooks: New and Selected Days (Origami Poems Project) and Something or Other (above/ground press). MA|DE Wanda Praamsma is a poet and writer living in Kingston, Ontario. Her works include a thin line between (Book*hug, 2014) and aversions // nothing special (chapbook, above/ground, 2022).
