Kevin Killian: Padam Padam, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Padam Padam celebrates legendary San Francisco poet Kevin Killian's wit and verve in this collection of long out-of-print poetry that tracks his pop culture obsessions, poetic experimentation, and engagements as a friend, lover, and correspondent.

Puckish poet, playwright, novelist, scholar, mentor, and impresario of the Bay Area arts community, Kevin Killian channeled the charisma of pop icons, inspiring everyone around him to *be stars.* Published in his lifetime and now long out of print, the volumes collected here have become touchstones of irreverent, kaleidoscopic camp. In Argento Series , Killian conjures the horror, suspense, and cinematic imagery of director Dario Argento as he documents the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco. In Action Kylie , he revels in queer identity and the universal love of fandom. In Tweaky Village and Tony Greene Era , Killian elevates artists and friends to legendary status within his personal pantheon. And Elements , Killian's wink at the periodic table, makes its U. S. debut. Named after Kylie Minogue's electrifying anthem, Padam Padam pulses with camp, longing, and euphoria.
