CAConrad's childhood included selling cut flowers along the highway for his mother and helping her shoplift. He escaped to Philadelphia the first chance he got where he lives and writes today with The PhillySound poets. Soft Skull Press published his book Deviant Propulsion in 2006. His book The Frank Poems is forthcoming in 2008 from CHAX Press. A selection of The Frank Poems was translated into German by Berlin poet Holger, and a bilingual chapbook is now available from Carrie Hunter's YPOLITA Press. Jack Kimball's FAUX Press will be publishing a new series of poems (Soma)tic Midge in late 2007 (samples from this new work can be seen in listenlight and MiPOesias and Sawbuck and COCONUT#9) He is the author of several other chapbooks, including (end-begin w/chants), a collaboration with Frank Sherlock.
