“Book Descriptions: The texts collected in Prelude to Transgression were written out of an exploratory desire to cross beyond the realm of “narrative of void-hunt” and into something new. They attempt to both dramatize the impossible and touch upon the sovereignty found in poetic effusion simultaneously; often by alternating between genres. They deliver a realm of work that directly preceded Kitchell’s desire, as a writer, to fully transcend the page and move towards a corporeal impossibility.
That is to say, this volume delivers the interstice in which Kitchell decided he no longer just wanted to write about levitating, but rather wanted to spend time trying to levitate.” DRIVE
