OREANDA-NEWS. Poet CAConrad releases ECODEVIANCE: (Soma)tics for the Future Wilderness. This latest CAConrad book contains 23 new (Soma)tic poetry rituals and resulting poems written with generous grants and residencies from Banff Arts Centre, The MacDowell Colony, Ucross Foundation, and the Pew Charitable Trusts.

It includes work published in the 2012 Liverpool Biennial compendium as well as Best American Poetry 2014, and Best American Experimental Writing 2014.

The Boston Globewrote on ECODEVIANCE, "From these rituals come notes; from those notes come poems; and from those poems comes not just a view into his process, but an entrance into another present, which a reader could as easily follow on her own -- across the page as a poem, or across time as a performance of the same ritual."
