CAConrad is the author of nine books of poetry and essays, including their latest book JUPITER ALIGNMENT: (Soma)tic Poetry Rituals (2020) and While Standing in Line for Death (2017), which won a Lambda Book Award.

“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]
