Experience the newest poetry collections from CAConrad and Golden! CAConrad engages with extinction and regeneration within the Anthropocene in Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books, 2024). CAConrad’s electrifying sculptural poems ebb and flow like a current and as each new piece is formed, they collapse, eternally returning to themselves.

I don’t know about you but I wasn’t bending the Supreme Court to my will when I was young. But the subject of my movie successfully argued a case before SCOTUS when he was only 27. He kept on winning cases for progressive causes and when he was 45, he got into modern dance. A recent piece for the Rehearsing Philadelphia festival shows the intersection of his two worlds.

Resurrect Extinct Vibration is a (Soma)tic poetry ritual in nine maneuvers, including lying on the ground across the US to saturate their body with recordings of recently extinct animals and strategically placing index cards in public with email correspondences for each animal, to result in a total of 108 poems.

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.”
