In a 2010 interview with Luke Degnan for BOMB Magazine’s BOMBlog, Conrad discussed their approach to poetry, which focuses on process & on engaging the permeability of the border between self & other. “Ultimately, I want my (Soma)tic poetry & poetics to help us realize at least two things. That everything around us has a creative viability with the potential to spur new thinking & imaginative output & that the most necessary ingredient to bringing the sustainable, humane changes we need & want for our world requires creativity in all lives, every single day.” In a 2010 review of The Book of Frank for Jacket Magazine, poet Eileen Myles observes, “In Conrad’s world the parameters are deliberately unknowable because that is the nature of our time. In piecing together, configuring & releasing [their] extreme miniatures—agonized fables, poems about America. CAConrad includes us all in the enormous outside of [their] heart. Which is the world in all its possibility.”
