Join us at SLOMA for a (Soma)tic Rituals workshop and explore the creative viability around us with acclaimed poet CAConrad.
Explore how (Soma)tic Rituals can help us see the creative viability in everything around us in a workshop with acclaimed poet CAConrad. CAConrad has created writing rituals using the night sky to design homemade star constellations, another ritual to dream with crows, and many others, from talking with trees and ghosts, translating Shakespeare's sonnets with crystals, and coping with the destroyed wilderness of our planet.
The San Luis Obispo County Poet Laureate, Cal Poly Writers At Work, SLO County Arts and the San Luis Obispo Museum of art are proud to host acclaimed poet CAConrad for the first time in San Luis Obispo.
CAConrad has been writing poems for more than 50 years and working with (Soma)tic poetry rituals for over 20 years. Their latest book is Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). They received the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, a PEN award, a Creative Capital grant, a Pew Fellowship, and a Lambda Literary Award. They teach at the Sandberg Art Institute and De Ateliers in Amsterdam.
