The Book of Frank
Winner of the 2009 Gil Ott Book Award, this expanded edition of The Book of Frank features additional "Frank" poems and an essay by Eileen Myles. Praised by poet Anne Waldman as a "voyeuresque surreal portrait," The Book of Frank is also, in the words of poet-critic Alan Gilbert, a "candid portrayal of human cruelty and its resultant fantasies of escape."

Tough, visceral, beautiful
Published by marzanne , 1 year ago
Conrad's exceptional poetry paces itself through image after vignette after scene of emotional trauma, personal intimacy, violence, erasure, and metaphor. It isn't a book you read so much as it happens to you.
