#157 - CAConrad, (Soma)tic Poet

CAConrad has been writing poems for over 50 years and working with (Soma)tic poetry rituals for over 20 years. Their latest book is Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). They won the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, a Creative Capital grant, a Pew Fellowship, a Lambda Poetry Award, and others. The Book of Frank is now available in 9 different languages, and they coedited SUPPLICATION: Selected Poems of John Wieners (Wave Books). They also exhibit poems as sculpture with recent solo shows in London’s CHAMP LACOMBE, MOCA-Tucson, Fluent in Santander, and Batalha Centro in Porto. They teach at the Sandberg Art Institute and De Ateliers in Amsterdam. They are on Instagram at CAConrad88.

On this episode, CA discusses their lineage of occult poets, spirit-led writing, and how they came to develop their (Soma)tic poetry ritual practice.

Pam also talks about the magic of solitude, and answers a listener question about needing alone time for one’s witchcraft.
