Winner of the 2022 PEN Josephine Miles Award for Poetry
Winner of the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize
Former United States Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith wrote in the New York Times, “CAConrad's poems invite 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.” The poems in AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration reach out from a (Soma)tic poetry ritual where CA flooded their body with the field recordings of recently extinct animals. Foundational here are the memories of loved ones who died of AIDS, the daily struggle of existing through the Corona Virus pandemic, and the effort to arrive at a new way of falling in love with the world as it is, not as it was.

my grandmother Pearl said
throw your wallet away the
moment you lose your job
there were many excuses for
losing jobs where I grew up
she was the only
person in my family
in the 1980s who asked
about my dying
lovers and
friends
she said to me after
a week with 3 funerals
there was a beginning to this pain
now you know the middle but
the end too must show itself
when you survive this
love will destroy
all doubt"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
