Based in Kjipuktuk, Mi’kma’ki (Halifax, Nova Scotia), Collusion Books publishes print & digital chapbooks of collaborative poetry & cross-art collaborations with poetic elements.
Collusion’s revenue & donations defray print costs, support poet & artist compensation, and assist the long con Contributor Fund.
For announcements & submission calls, follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter.
Four of Collusion’s first ten print titles were shortlisted for the bpNichol Chapbook Award—a testament, we think, to the dynamism and wonderment of collaborative art.
Learn more about Collusion through our TIFOA Small Press Map profile, Arc Poetry interview (2021), or Ampersand Review interview (2023).
