CA Conrad & Magdalena Zurawski

Philadelphia legend CA Conrad joins us in celebration of his first book, Deviant Propulsion (Soft Skull Press). Eileen Myles says “I'm a huge fan of CAConrad's poems--he's Gay Sunshine anew. Plus George Herbert & Harold Norse, Creeley and early Judy Grahn. Soupy Sales too! His fairy love poem to George W. Bush should be read aloud to every high school assembly in the world. Watch out, I think he has an agenda! CAConrad is boldly recruiting all of us to commit the/muscle/ to love. Is the opposite of a hate crime a love crime? Well, this is it.”

Magdalena Zurawski was born in Newark, NJ in 1972 to Polish immigrants. Her work has been published in American Poet: The Journal of the Academy of American Poets, The Poetry Project Newsletter, Rattapallax, and other magazines. Her chapbooks include Bruised Nickelodeon (Hophophop Press). She lives in San Francisco, blogs as minoramerican, and recently finished writing her first novel, The Bruise.
