Tightrope’s unique vision includes a commitment to publishing exquisite books that mirror and explore cross-cultural conflict and relations. Recent examples include Best Canadian poems by George Eliot Clarke, Shane Rhodes, and Cara-Lyn Morgan; Megan Fernandes’ poetry collection The Kingdom and After and Rosario Lloret’s 2014 novel Wolf in a Beaver Coat. We have further strengthened our strong voice in the LGBTQ community with the publication of Lambda Award-winning Jeffrey Round’s 2014 poetry collection In the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci, Royston Tester’s You Turn Your Back and Marnie Woodrow’s novel Heyday.
