“Kevin loved culture and was its constant undoing.” —Eileen Myles ""The four hundred pages of Padam Padam, carefully curated by Evan Kennedy and Jason Morris, are but a smattering of Kevin Killian’s life work, yet they’re ample enough to show his brilliant, hungry mind develop over the decades, spinning up new universes, sometimes enjambed but always brainy and sexual."" —Daniel Allen Cox, The Brooklyn Rail “I used to say Kevin was the only person I ever knew who possibly could have come from a different planet—an enigma who possessed superhuman knowledge, baffling productivity, and later, super-human kindness.” —Robert Glück “Oh, he is a dark master of the word, Kevin Killian, an inviting bridegroom and a voyeur who’ll let us play in his fictions until we’re spent.” —D.A. Powell “Like his beloved Kylie Minogue sings, Kevin created a body of work that is ""more than [we] dare to think about""—a ""dark secret"" that filled and felt ""the need,"" a deep need, in all of us.” —Dorothea Lasky
