Jade Wallace (they/them)@nycterosea.bsky.social · 3mo agoAlways an absolute pleasure to review some poetry for @malahatreview.bsky.social, spend some time with @zoewhittall.bsky.social's work, and muse about the porous genre boundaries of poetry. Here are some excerpts from my review of No Credit River from @bookhugpress.bsky.social.
MA|DE was recently interviewed by @robmclennan.bsky.social for TOUCH THE DONKEY about the context for our poems in TTD, how these poems fit in the trajectory of our work, how collaboration affects our solo practices, our influences and inspirations and the future of our work.
We have 6 poems in the 49th and latest issue of @robmclennan.bsky.social's Touch the Donkey, including the 2 pictured here. These are from our forthcoming collection, Detourism (@palimpsestpress.bsky.social, 2028). Many thanks to rob for putting this issue together and including us!

The latest addition to the "In the Third Sleep" ekphrastic project is by Mark Laliberte of @madeprojects.bsky.social! Get it all here: inthethirdsleep.blogspot.com
Had a lot of fun writing this poem, even though it's a bit of a downer: "In the Third Sleep We Will Converge. After the Next Revolution We Will Stop Screaming." inthethirdsleep.blogspot.com/2026/02/in-t...
MA|DE@madeprojects.bsky.social · 5mo agoPoet @paulvermeersch.bsky.social kindly invited us to participate in his latest ekphrastic curatorial project. Each participant is writing a response to Kay Sage's painting "In the Third Sleep." We intended to collaborate as MA|DE, but found that the painting spoke to both of us in different ways.
