CAConrad is one of the most productive and inventive poets of their generation. Writing in the New York Times, Tracey K. Smith described how Conrad's poetry ‘invites the reader to become an agent in a joint act of recovery, to step outside of passivity and propriety and to become susceptible to the illogical and the mysterious' – a susceptibility fully evidenced in Conrad's latest Penguin collection, Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return.Conrad is joined by Luke Roberts, Senior Lecturer in Modern Poetry at King's College London. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This April's issue of Poetry celebrates the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize recipients. In previous years, one poet was awarded the prize. This year, in honor of the 110th anniversary of the magazine, eleven poets were selected—a nod to the eleven decades of the magazine's existence. This week, we hear from a Ruth Lilly Prize winner who's worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975: CAConrad. The poet Hoa Nguyen writes of them: “A queer activist, a diviner, and a visionary from beyond the veil, Conrad brings shape to the whispers of the cosmos.... You could say that CAConrad's practice is a form of magical studies, a practice in dialogue with the ineffable.” We asked Nguyen if she would interview CAConrad for the podcast, and they get into crow justice, poem orgies, and the fact that we are all collaborating whether we think we are or not. We also hear several poems from CAConrad's forthcoming book, Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books, 2024).

For the month of January, we're focusing on what keeps us writing. How do we refresh our writing habits and routines? How do poets sustain their writing practices? Today, Holly Amos enlists the help of poets and educators Stefania Gomez and Maggie Queeney. Stefania and Maggie both work in the Poetry Foundation library, and they share some of their inspirations, tips, challenges, and resources. Holly offers two writing prompts, and we hear advice on how to keep making via clips from CAConrad, Jordan Peele, Vi Khi Nao, Ocean Vuong, and Anne Waldman.  Links and writing prompts mentioned in the episode: –Tricia Hersey's Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto –Felicia Rose Chavez's The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom –CAConrad's website contains many (Soma)tic Poetry Ritual links, and here's CA speaking about them on Poetry Off the Shelf –Vi Khi Nao on boredom on the Between the Covers podcast from Tin House  –Jordan Peele on writing Get Out at the 2017 Film Independent Forum  –Anne Waldman gives advice to young writers at the Louisiana Channel –Ocean Vuong talks about where he wrote his first book on Late Night with Seth Meyers Boredom Prompt    1. Do something boring. It could be sitting in front of a window, watching a TV show that is boring, listening to a podcast that's not that engaging, but don't multitask—do just the one thing, and do it for as much time as you have (fifteen minutes if that's all you have, or thirty if you've got longer).    2. While you're doing whatever boring thing you're doing, have a timer go off every three minutes, and when it goes off, write down three words.     3. Now, use the words you wrote down to begin your poem. What do they have in common? What's the thread you're finding? Or string them all together for your first line. Dream Writing Space Prompt    1. Envision the place where you're writing in ten years in your dream life. What does that space look like? What's there? Who's there? How tall are the ceilings? What is the light like?    2. Spend ten minutes writing in detail about the space. Embody that future self in that future space.     3. Now write a poem “remembering” your old writing space (so “remembering” your current writing space).

In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we spotlight the life and work of poet, CA Conrad. They write poems in which stark images of sex, violence, and defiance build a bridge between fable and confession. They are the author of nine books of poetry and essays, including their latest book JUPITER ALIGNMENT: (Soma)tic Poetry Rituals (Ignota Books, 2020) and While Standing in Line for Death (Wave Books). A documentary about their work, The Book of Conrad (Delinquent Films), is viewable online on their website. This episode includes a reading of their poem,  "Glitter in my Wounds"."Glitter in my Wounds"first and most important                             dream our missing friends forward                             burn their reflections into empty chairs             we are less bound by time than the clockmaker fearsthis morning all I want is to follow where the stone angels point                      birdsong lashing me to tears                              heterosexuals need to see our suffering                   the violent deaths of our friends and lovers       to know glitter on a queer is not to dazzle but to  unsettle the foundation of this murderous culture         defiant weeds smashing up through cement                      you think Oscar Wilde was funny                     well Darling I think he was busy                             distracting straight peopleso they would not kill himif you knew how many times Ihave been told you're not like mygay best friend who tells mejokes and makes me laughno I sure as fuck am notI have no room in my life toaudition for your pansy mascotyou people can't kill me andthink you can kill me againI met a tree in Amsterdam andstood barefoot beside it for twentyminutes then left completely restored     yet another poem not written by a poet                    sometimes we need one muscle to                                     relax so the others follow                                 my friend Mandy calls after a                               long shift at the strip club to say                            while standing in line for death I am                        fanning my hot pussy with your new book                   will you sign it next week my fearless faggot sisterSupport the show (https://getlit.org/donate/)

Apology founder and editor Jesse Pearson speaks with the poet CAConrad about why they read nothing but poetry, the didacticism of the novel, their work with the tarot, their experiences with ghosts, their new book Amanda Paradise, and the centrality of ritual to their practice. CA reads a couple poems too!

A memorial tribute to Michael McClure with readings and remembrances by Russ Tamblyn, CAConrad, Margaret Randall, Forrest Gander, George Herms, Henry Kaiser, Jerome Rothenberg, Cedar Sigo, Garrett Caples, Paul Nelson, Lyn Hejinian, Andrew Schelling, Amy McClure, Jane McClure, and Joanna McClure. This event was originally broadcast live via Zoom and hosted by Peter Maravelis. Michael McClure (1932-2020) was an award-winning American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist. After moving to San Francisco as a young man, he was one of the five poets who participated in the Six Gallery reading that featured the public debut of Allen Ginsberg's landmark poem "Howl." A key figure of the Beat Generation, McClure is immortalized as Pat McLear in Jack Kerouac's novels The Dharma Bums and Big Sur. He also participated in the 60s counterculture alongside musicians like Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. He taught for many years at California College of the Arts and lived with his wife, Amy, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sponsored by the City Lights Foundation.

What's Love Got To Do With It? is a three-part podcast series about Radical Love. In this first episode, CAConrad and LeAnne Howe share an intensely personal conversation with one another about First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, who insisted she was tormented by an Indigenous Spirit – a reminder that her husband’s record on racial equality is fraught with violence and oppression; AIDS and loving during the Reagan years; and the new horizons created by the Black Lives Matter movement. Please note: this episode contains sensitive content from the start. What’s Love Got To Do With It? is programmed and curated by Beatrice Gibson, produced by Alannah Chance, and features unique compositions by Crystabel Riley and Seymour Wright. It is a commission by Bergen Kunsthall; Camden Art Centre, London; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; and Mercer Union, a centre for contemporary art, Toronto.

The award-winning American poet CAConrad here shares the moving story of how, following the brutal murder of his boyfriend and the subsequent indifference of the police, writing poetry conceived from rituals became healing: “I believed that I could do a ritual for poems, that could drag me out of that depression.”CAConrad was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg at the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark in August 2018. During this conversation  CAConrad reads poetry from ‘While Standing in Line for Death' (2017).

Oliver Baez Bendorf shares recordings of poets that encourage him to “show up in [his] own life” through both their poetry and the way they themselves move through the world as thinkers, activists, and people. He celebrates Trish Salah’s intelligence and generosity of mind (“Tiresias as Cuir (on the run)”), CAConrad’s expressiveness of voice and connection to the body (“I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead”), and Ching-In Chen’s call to reconsider histories (“dear story of a risk, 1878.”). Baez Bendorf closes by reading a poem written this summer, titled “Michigan,” inspired by the life and work of transgender activist Sylvia Rivera. Listen to the full recordings of Salah, CAConrad, and Chen reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Trish Salah (2017)CAConrad (2014)Ching-In Chen with the Thinking Its Presence Board (2017)

How can we transform the contemporary moment, one of significant shifts in ideas, systems and ways of being, into a time of renewal and new beginnings? For CAConrad poetry and ritual are two ancient technologies that investigate the space between body and spirit. In this reading and talk, CA discusses how to make and maintain creative space in our lives.

“CAConrad always argues (from the inside of their poems) for a poetry of radical inclusivity while keeping a very queer shoulder to the wheel. Their kind of queerness strikes me as nonpolarizing, not intentionally but because of the fullness of their exposition, a kind of gigantism that seems to me to be most deeply informed […] The post CAConrad : Resurrect Extinct Vibration appeared first on Tin House.

This week in the pharmacy we have the poet CAConrad! The poems we prescribe and talk about in this episode can be found here: Sophie Robinson’s “biggest loser”: https://www.lambdaliterary.org/features/poetry-spotlight/10/16/a-poem-by-sophie-robinson/ Emily Dickinson’s “Remorse – is Memory – Awake”: https://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/emily-dickinson/remorse-is-memory-awake/ CAConrad grew up in Pennsylvania, where they helped to support their single mother during Conrad’s difficult youth. Influenced by Eileen Myles, Audre Lorde, Alice Notley, and Emily Dickinson, Conrad writes poems in which stark images of sex, violence, and defiance build a bridge between fable and confession. In a 2010 interview with Luke Degnan for BOMBMagazine’s BOMBlog, Conrad discussed their approach to poetry, which focuses on process and on engaging the permeability of the border between self and other. “Ultimately, I want my (Soma)tic poetry and poetics to help us realize at least two things. That everything around us has a creative viability with the potential to spur new thinking and imaginative output and that the most necessary ingredient to bringing the sustainable, humane changes we need and want for our world requires creativity in all lives, every single day.” Conrad is the author of seven books, the latest is titled While Standing in Line for Death (Wave Books, 2017). They are a 2015 Headlands Art Fellow, and has also received fellowships from Lannan Foundation, MacDowell Colony, Banff, Ucross, RADAR, and the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. They conduct workshops on (Soma)tic Poetry and Ecopoetics. — Intro music: Of Montreal’s Knight Rider; outro music is also by Of Montreal (The Party’s Crashing Us)

Rachel Zucker speaks with poet CAConrad about their Somatic poetry rituals, their childhood in rural Western Pennsylvania, becoming an avid reader, running away from home, the AIDS epidemic, writing The Book of Frank over an 18 year period, anti-efficiency, marketing research, the 1998 murder of CA’s boyfriend, Earth, using a somatic ritual to cure a pernicious depression, and CA’s recently published book, While Standing In Line for Death. CAConrad describes their writing process, how to get ahead of one’s internal editor, revision, combating misogyny, animal rights activism, ACT UP, ecological disaster, ecopoetics, the vibrational absence of extinct species being replaced by the din of humanity, white rhinos, Walmart, the end of empire, teaching, the myth of writer’s block, how to write inside the hardest things, roadkill memorials, being alone, and accepting the elements.

Artists discuss intuition and divination, techniques used to perceive and foresee the unknown. They explore the intersections of their work with palmistry, poetry, astrology, and clairsentient readings.
