BIO
Biography

Mark Laliberte is a Windsor-based writer/artist/designer whose poems and pageworks have appeared in publications big and small, including Descant, Ink Brick, Poetry, prairie fire, Prefix Photo, subTerrain and Vallum. Recent solo books include asemanticasymmetry (Anstruther), BookBook (above/ground) and Explosive Comic (Swimmers Group). His writing has received support from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council and the City of Windsor's Arts, Culture & Heritage Fund.

Laliberte is also a member of MA|DE, an exploratory collaborative writing entity, whose first full-length book of poetry, ZZOO, is set to debut with Palimpsest Press on their Anstruther Books imprint in Spring 2025 (pre-order a copy here); they have also completed their next two collections, Alphabeticals (currently out on submission) and Detourism (forthcoming 2028).

Laliberte was editor and designer of the Canadian hybrid art/lit mag CAROUSEL for a 20-year period (36 issues completed, 2002-23), publisher at the experimental comics press Popnoir Editions from 2016-21, and curator of the international constraint-based comics community The 4PANEL Project; he recently retired from all these positions to focus exclusively on his own work — and has now completed his latest manuscript, Circularities.
