From the publisher

‘One of America’s most legendary living poets.’
– Ocean Vuong

‘[CAConrad] surges ahead in experiment and lasting power.’
– Maggie Nelson

In this heartfelt exploration of queer fandom, legendary poet CAConrad charts the lasting power and pull of Elvis

When CAConrad’s reverence for the King puts them on a trip to Memphis, the result is this wild joyride of a book, a homage that is bursting with love and twisted sincerity.

Drawing on sources as disparate as graffiti, talk-show interviews, phone messages, and poetry, Conrad assembles a collage that celebrates while laughing with the cult of Elvis.

Advanced Elvis Course is a psychedelic road trip – a transcendental portrait of a man who changed music and America forever, seen through the eyes of those for whom he still lives.
