Deviant Propulsion Introduces Poet CAConrad as a Writer Propelled by Dissidence
Summary
Both have a talent for ‘rants’ against the established order accompanied by revolutionary calls to action against government waste and lies, authoritative hypocricy, repression, and the pretension, detachment and abuse which capitalism breeds.Caught in the tempest of art, life, compulsion, dreams, sex, lack of money and poetry as lifestyle, it’s no wonder the Publisher’s Weekly reviewer begins with a description of him as “sexy and outrageous.” Visit http://seenoffstage.blogspot.com/ for a pictorial rendition of “Celebrities I’ve Seen Offstage” from Deviant Propulsion.CAConrad’s poems give a nod to many muses, some who surround him on other projects such as http://PhillySound.blogspot.com, Frequency Audio Journal, coedited with Magdalena Zurawski, The Kelly Writers House at University of Pennsylvania, and past readings at La Tazza in Olde City, Philadelphia.Both have a talent for ‘rants’ against the established order accompanied by revolutionary calls to action against government waste and lies, authoritative hypocricy, repression, and the pretension, detachment and abuse which capitalism breeds.As a youth, CAConrad sold cut flowers on the side of the road, helped his mother shoplift, and traveled around the country following folk singers.Caught in the tempest of art, life, compulsion, dreams, sex, lack of money and poetry as lifestyle, it’s no wonder the Publisher’s Weekly reviewer begins with a description of him as “sexy and outrageous.”Visit http://seenoffstage.blogspot.com/ for a pictorial rendition of “Celebrities I’ve Seen Offstage” from Deviant Propulsion.CAConrad’s poems give a nod to many muses, some who surround him on other projects such as http://PhillySound.blogspot.com, Frequency Audio Journal, coedited with Magdalena Zurawski, The Kelly Writers House at University of Pennsylvania, and past readings at La Tazza in Olde City, Philadelphia.CAConrad has another book forthcoming: The Frank Poems, by Jargon Society.
