there's a lot to respect about CA Conrad. They live in the realm of, and bring back the concept of, the poet as a mystic, yet writes incredible, post-modern lyric poems. Their poems are deeply personal, yet refuse to disengage from political and ecological discourse. And, like W.S. Merwin, they FORCE one to engage their poetry as a sound/musical structure, rather than a mere literary one, through the rejection of punctuation, which forces the reader to speak aloud the poems to understand the pauses, stops, and breaths. Whatever you might say about CA, you can't say they aren't unique.
@@thelouisianachannel Ok, I'm not going to speak for them, but I felt like saying something because I found it surprising to seem them referred to as he/him, as I haven't heard anyone refer to them as he/him elsewhere.
Nobody cares. He should probably reconsider luring children with bubbles, then telling their parents the bubbles are making them queer. It's a perfectly natural response to want to keep your children away from some weird dude obviously trying to luring children to him. Of course, parents would be repulsed by such a thing. This is literally the queer version of a van with free candy painted on the side. After a story about being predatory to children, the poem starts, "I was naked on a mountain top". Um, yeah, dude.... stay the hell away from children. WTF is wrong with you. I don't care but stay away from children.

I love you, CA Conrad!
Listening to this somehow helped me. I guess I had some healing to do also.
very moving ....
often times , great creative work is born from great pain ....
beautiful poetry :)
Yes, we agree!
I'm pretty sure you misgendered them throughout this entire description. CAConrad uses they/them pronouns.

First world problems really must be difficult to live through
