Action Kylie - By Kyle Killian
Kevin Killian’s long awaited collection of poems, Action Kylie, is out!
“Kylie Minogue, more than muse, is K. K.’s aesthetic m.o., his ammo. Around her name and image, he circulates the particles of his own uncanny idiom, which is unlike anything in contemporary American poetry. Killian works every instrument in the band; he sneaks up behind meaning, and makes it sing. Somehow, in the midst of defamiliarization, Killian’s voice remains companionable and comforting. ACTION KYLIE is a book I will turn to when I want to remember that literature can regenerate authenticity as well as renege it. Killian plays with multiple rhetorics and codes, all in the pursuit of his own school of Action Poetry, in which I wish quickly to enroll”–Wayne Koestenbaum.
If you are not familiar with Kevin Killian’s work, he has written several novels - my favorite is “Little Men”, he has been a long-time contributor actor/writer/director for the San Francisco Poet’s Theater. He’s also a poet and a scholar, most notable for “Poet Be Like God: Jack Spicer and the San Francisco Renaissance“. So yeah, if you love Kylie Minogue as much as Kevin does, you should totally check out his collection of poems Action Kylie and then put on one of Kylie’s many albums and dance dance dance!!!
