(Soma)tic Poetry Rituals: #117: MoMA’s Office of Paranormal Activity
http://somaticpoetryexercises.blogspot.com/2015/01/117-momas-office-of-paranormal-activity.html
Friday, January 2, 2015. 117: MoMA’s Office of Paranormal Activity. Poet Kenny Goldsmith invited me to perform at the Museum of Modern Art, but instead of. Squandering the time and space on YET ANOTHER poetry reading I turned it into a writing performance ritual for new poems. After calling a few talented friends to help me I went to work. Everything was invented, including the poem that resulted, titled SLAVES OF HOPE LIVE ONLY FOR TOMORROW. A MoMA EXCLUSIVE, 12:30pm TODAY! I was first hired after the 2...

Sunday, April 19, 2015. 121: MY FAGGOT KANSAS BLOOD CONFESSIONS TO THE EARTH.

(Soma)tic Poetry Rituals: July 2015
http://somaticpoetryexercises.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 6, 2015. We poets have been the ugly cousins of the arts for years, painters asking us to write poems serenading their paintings. Collaboration can mean creating together, but it can also mean being a traitor and working with the enemy. Let us honor the first of these definitions. Soma)tic Rituals can fuse with any artistic discipline. For instance, the poet creates half the ritual, the painter the other half. Here is an example. We return to write and paint within view of one another. Poste...

(Soma)tic Poetry Rituals: #118: Déjà Vu Bus Ride
http://somaticpoetryexercises.blogspot.com/2015/01/118-deja-vu-bus-ride.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. 118: Déjà Vu Bus Ride. While house sitting in Philadelphia after many months of being on the road I went to my old neighborhood in search of her. She was waiting for the number 21 bus and it was the first time I was getting on with her deliberately. I didn’t want to break our pattern and introduce myself, so instead I occupied the space as a fellow observer of the world. After a few blocks our eyes met as usual but she not only smiled she nodded. Posted by poet CAConrad.

(Soma)tic Poetry Rituals: SLEEPING AT WalMart
http://somaticpoetryexercises.blogspot.com/2015/04/sleeping-at-walmart.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. A few people have written to me about my “From Whitman to WalMart” (Soma)tic poetry ritual I am currently doing. Part of the ritual involves sleeping in my car in WalMart parking lots. Some poets have written saying they also want to do this. Please let me share some information with you. 80% of WalMarts allow parking to sleep, but make sure you are parking in one of the 80% that allows this. Always sleep in the drivers seat. Always have the windows all the way up. The retired f...
