“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.”
–Tracy K. Smith, New York Times, (December, 2018)

Their work has been described as “visionary, disorienting, and wonderful” and “unsettling, naughty, allegorical, and funny” all at once. [DES-01/22]
