While Standing in Line for Death is CAConrad's third book of (Soma)tic exercises. It contains eighteen new exercises and the resulting poems.

His first and second books of exercises have sold well and received praise from the Publishers Weekly, Boston Globe, Boston Review, BOMB, Huffington Post, Believer, and HTML Giant, among others.

The exercises are unconcerned with cultural taboos and are deeply in touch with the body and its extension into social/environmental/political realms. This book will be exciting to teach for anyone interested in politics, aesthetic boundaries, group pracitce, and LGBT discussion.

This collection contains some of the most powerful and effective exercises the author has yet engaged in his time doing them. These are the most personally important exercises and poems of the (Soma)tic books, yet they still serve just as much as political action catalysts as his prior poems have.

A fervent self-promoter, CAConrad has a cultlike following—his web presence is an invaluable asset in promoting this book.
