Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. "CAConrad's voyeuresque surreal portrait of Frank includes apotheosis, rebirth, talking teapots and hats. It disrupts the landscape as 'pins and/zippers of/other days/loosen.' CA is very good news as a raconteur, poet, performer and activist and makes news daily with his dedicated Outrider passion and 'alternative path' imagination. 'Onward, ' as Bob Creeley would say"--Anne Waldman. "I can never have enough CAConrad, like paprika or wisdom in disguise. Is he the Frank of the book?"--Bernadette Mayer. THE BOOK OF FRANK is the recipient of The Gil Ott Book Award, as chosen by Nathaniel Mackey, Myung Mi Kim, Eli Goldblatt, and Charles Alexander. The Gil Ott Book Award honors the legacy of poet, publisher, and social activist Gil Ott
