Two poems written by CAConrad for the When Is Now campaign were recently featured on Poetry Daily, a daily anthology of contemporary poetry.
CAConrad is a poet who has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975. Their featured poems “25 shard” and “poem for JS5” are gentle yet magnificent pleas to remember our being among the world.
The two poems follow in the trail of questions: “25 shard” answers “when will a / shard prevail” while “poem for JS5” replies to “when can we point / to regeneration”. Readings of these poems by their author may be listened to on the When Is Now website. They say more on their “(Soma)tic” poetry ritual in this letter.
When Is Now continues to invite poets and other creatives to be part of a web of creative climate action for the Places that have cultivated us. Respond to CAConrad’s poems, or contribute your own seeds of expression here.
