CAConrad has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975. Their latest book, Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return, was released Wave Books / UK Penguin in April 2024. They received the Ruth Lily Poetry Prize, a PEN Josephine Miles Award, a Creative Capital grant, a Pew Fellowship, and a Lambda Award. The Book of Frank is now available in 9 different languages. They exhibit poems as art objects with recent solo shows in Spain and Portugal, and their play The Obituary Show was made into a film in 2022 by the artist Augusto Cascales. They teach at Columbia University in New York and the Sandberg Art Institute in Amsterdam.

As part of phenomenon 5, four of their poems were printed on vinyl and installed in various walls in Chora. The poems were selected from their latest book Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (2024), as well as from their newest work First Light.

A poetry reading was also held at Ktima Roukounas restaurant, where CAConrad read excerpts from their books AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration (Wave Books, 2021), Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin, 2024), and from their unpublished work First Light.
