Inhaltsangabe

Winner of the 2022 PEN Josephine Miles Award for Poetry
Winner of the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize

Former United States Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith wrote in the New York Times, “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.” The poems in AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration reach out from a (Soma)tic poetry ritual where CA flooded their body with the field recordings of recently extinct animals. Foundational here are the memories of loved ones who died of AIDS, the daily struggle of existing through the Corona Virus pandemic, and the effort to arrive at a new way of falling in love with the world as it is, not as it was.

my grandmother Pearl said

throw your wallet away the

moment you lose your job

there were many excuses for

losing jobs where I grew up

she was the only

person in my family

in the 1980s who asked

about my dying

lovers and

friends

she said to me after

a week with 3 funerals

there was a beginning to this pain

now you know the middle but

the end too must show itself

when you survive this

love will destroy

all doubt
