M KITCHELL DAY

Midnight EST has come again, now on the Wednesday before Wellington’s LEFT launch, and that means it’s M Kitchell Day! For the next 24 hours, every online purchase of LEFT is tethered to a free digital download of Throw Yourself Out and See If It Makes Me Come, published by Void Editions (and now out of print). Today, we will be Cataloguing the Prolific. Keep reading to immerse fully.

M Kitchell has self-published no less than 34 books & chapbooks. He runs the press Solar Luxuriance. He is a designer, artist, cinephile, musician. His dulcet tones are a thing of beauty.

Books: - Spiritual Instrument is a full-length collection from Civil Coping Mechanisms - Apart From is a myth & a mixed media collection, with an accompanying soundtrack, from Solar Luxuriance - Slow Slidings, Blue Square Press (Out of Print) - Variations on the Sun, Love Symbol Press (Out of Print)

Writing online: - A story in PANK - A list on Everyday Genius - Twelve dreams in Plinth - A poem in Finery - A story in the Fanzine

Interviews & other views: - Queerness & discussion of Spiritual Animal and Apart From, on the Fanzine - A very in-depth look at being a small press, on Entropy - On cinephilia & his book Slow Slidings, in conversation with Blake Butler, at Vice - About his story “Loop”, in/on PANK

Some other internet glitches/glimpses: - This mixtape, (Don’t) Shampoo Your Hair in the 1900s, a potential B-side to Tim Jones-Yelvington’s mix, for Artifice Books - His YouTube channel, including video readings & book trailers by M Kitchell and others - His Goodreads page, where he posts a lot of in-depth, high-quality reviews (much better than most Goodreads pages) - His Tumblr blog, where he reblogs some really weird shit - The archive of LIES/ISLE, the now-defunct online lit mag he once edited

SL035 The Final Abdication of Elisa Lam by Sean Kilpatrick & M Kitchell Available now at Solar▲Luxuriance http://solarluxuriance.com/elisalam.html I. Elisa Lam Deposition by Sean Kilpatrick II. Invisible Light Agency by M Kitchell "In February 2013, the body of Elisa Lam, a 21-year-old Canadian student, was found inside one of the water supply tanks on the hotel roof. Lam went missing January 31, and her decomposed body was discovered on February 19 by a maintenance worker in one of the rooftop water tanks of Los Angeles' Cecil Hotel, after guests had complained about low water pressure and water that 'tasted funny'. Authorities later ruled Lam's death as an accidental drowning. Video surveillance footage taken from inside an elevator showed Lam acting strangely, pressing multiple elevator buttons, hiding in the corner of the elevator, and waving her arms wildly, causing widespread speculation about the cause of her death."
