text bookSection Rudy Susan aut In her 2010 dissertation, which locates a genealogy of transnational feminist thought in Canadian women’s writing, Andrea Beverley speaks of the centrality of collaborative theory and practice (35). For innovative women writers from Canada, transnational and even transhistorical connections have been enabled by collaboration. Women’s fraught relationship with nationality, Lianne Moyes notes in an article on citizenship in Erín Moure’s work, has often led them to affiliate differently and transnationally (123). It has also led them to imagine collaboration and collaborative writing otherwise. For multilingual, mobile, and intellectual poet-investigators like Moure and Caroline Bergvall, the category of the national or even the hemispheric is not big enough. But neither is a single language, historical moment, or author-based notion of collaboration. For Moure, Poetry…emerges from or in…collaboration. In Bergvall’s words, we need other platforms on which to do poetic work (Rudy, A Conversation with Caroline Bergvall n. pag.). This chapter outlines what some of those other platforms already look like and how poetry emerges there.
