Selected Amazon Reviews

Kevin Killian (1952-2019) was a San Francisco-based poet, playwright, novelist, biographer, editor, critic, and artist. Highly prolific and radically queer, he published several volumes of poetry and short stories, as well as four novels. He also wrote and produced fifty plays, and with his wife, Dodie Bellamy, coedited Writers Who Love Too Much: New Narrative 1977-1997. In addition to reviewing for Amazon, Killian published criticism in Art in America, Artforum, Artweek, the Brooklyn Rail, BOMB, Framework, and elsewhere. Poet D. A. Powell has called Killian "a dark master of the word ... an inviting bridegroom and a voyeur who'll let us play in his fictions until we're spent."
