The opportunities limit us in our new world. Encourage parents to not know, encourage parents to allow anticipation on either end. Escalators are a nice ride, slowly rising and falling, writing while riding, notes for the poem, meeting new people at either end, \"Excuse me, EXCUSE ME. . . .\" My escalator notes became a poem.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCAConrad's \u003ci\u003eECODEVIANCE\u003c\/i\u003e contains twenty-three new (Soma)tic writing exercises and their resulting poems, in which he pushes his political and ecological efforts even further. These exercises, unorthodox steps in the writing process, work to break the reader and writer out of the quotidian and into a more politically and physically aware present. In performing these rituals, CAConrad looks through a sharper lens and confirms the necessity of poetry and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCAConrad\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2012) and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Frank\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2010\/Chax Press, 2009), as well as several other books of poetry and essays.
