Poetry Reading: CAConrad Live in Liverpool

Open Eye Gallery

Poetry reading with CAConrad live in Liverpool at Open Eye Gallery

Legendary U.S. poet CAConrad performs in Liverpool for the first time. CAConrad is known all over the world for their live performances and poetry that explodes the binary between language and visual art. Published by Penguin in the UK, they will read a range of work including from their most recent books Advanced Elvis Course (Peninsular Press, 2024) and Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Penguin, 2024). With poems described by Ocean Vuong as ‘a tremendous ball of fire hurled into the dark recesses of our world’ this is an unmissable chance to see one of the world’s most celebrated poets read their work live on Merseyside.About CAConrad:CAConrad has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975. Their latest book is Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). They received the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, a PEN Josephine Miles Award, a Creative Capital grant, a Pew Fellowship, and a Lambda Award. The Book of Frank is now available in 9 different languages, and they coedited SUPPLICATION: Selected Poems of John Wieners (Wave Books). They exhibit poems as art objects with recent solo shows in Tucson, Arizona, as well as in Spain and Portugal. They teach at the Sandberg Art Institute in Amsterdam.
