Rescued from the Digital Void: Kevin Killian's Amazon Reviews
2025-01-17
This book collects over two thousand Amazon reviews written by the late poet Kevin Killian between 2003 and 2019. Beginning after a heart attack as a form of therapeutic writing, Killian's reviews evolved from short comments into insightful essays on everything from everyday objects to books and films. They offer a unique perspective on popular culture from the first quarter of the 21st century, blending humor and personal reflection. The publication of this collection is a rescue mission for Killian's digital legacy and a poignant reflection on the ephemeral nature of online content.
