5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiring beyond belief!,
By Linda McManus "Linda McManus" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deviant Propulsion: Poems (Paperback)
One of the best books of poetry I have read in years. Few books give such joy and strength. My favorite poem is called Celebrities I Have Seen Off Stage, which is very funny and also a powerful read on observing people better. The love poems are striking, including the one for president Bush, which will make you scream with delight by the end. There's a crazy edge to this book that rubs off on you. C.A. Conrad has this to say to us, "The only - failure - is no - love" And the science fiction giant Samuel Delany loves it which is good enough for me. "With a clarity of language that makes the bones sing, they sneak past our defenses and do things, directly, surprisingly, irreparably, to us."--Samuel Delany

Without effort, CAConrad sprints across his poetic minefield crossing from concrete to abstract to minimalist to narrative. What most poets aim for and repeatedly fail at, CAConrad makes look easy. This collection is without a doubt one of the most progressive volumes published in a decade. For no other reason, read the book to find out if CA likes W.
