yes the present
is between the
past and future
but is too radical
to be called
the middle

This is my first time reading anything from CAConrad. Some of the poems he really blew me away, and I especially enjoyed the prose sections. Some of the poems were really Not For Me. It was a mixed bag, but ultimately more good than bad. The good was powerful, thoughtful, and moving.

I think I would have to know this would suit an individual before recommending it to them.

CA Conrad is one of my favorite poets writing currently. I feel like a better human being after reading a CA Conrad collection. There is something so indescribable about his work. Every word he writes is imbued with his unique sincerity and authenticity, it's really amazing to read. Conrad continues with the format used in Ecodeviance, instructions for a ritual and the resulting notes are edited to be a poem. His instructions to recreate the ritual, though not in verse, are often as poetic as the poems. Conrad writes beautifully about the dangers of today's war mongering and capitalism.
