Sensitive Skin 13 features original fiction from Peter Blauner , Thaddeus Rutkowski , Robert C. Hardin , Carl Watson Matt McClaren, and B. Kold , with poetry by Hal Sirowitz , D. James Smith, Max Blagg and Christopher Romero.
For this special issue, we have a number of crime-related book excerpts, including the biography of France’s most-wanted, Jacques Mesrine , the new novel from punk situationist icon Stewart Home , tattoo legend Jonathan Shaw’s Narcissa, a biography of inner-circle beat member Herbert Huncke, an excerpt from Ron Kolm’s collected Duke and Jill stories, and an excerpt from ex-Dead Kennedy’s road manager, bank robber and junky Patrick O’Neil’s Gun Needle Spoon.
And then there’s some amazing art, starting with the cover by outsider artist/rock god Samoa Moriki. The back cover is an incredible collection of old mug shots from the collection of Mark Michaelson. Erik Noonan wrote a terrific essay on the paintings of David de Biasio, while Justin Clifford Rhody provided candid shots of racetrack denizens. Russian ex-apt Julia Kissina, whose work has freqently been seen inHarper’s magazine, provided a bizarre portfoliio of “Fairies,” while Max Blagg’s poems are accompanied by paintings by the great Alex Katz.
With additional photographs, illustrations, paintings and drawings by JD King, David West, Sally Egbert, Charles Gatewood, Leslie Hardie, Stephen Lack, Jean-Christian Bourcart, Dustin Wayne Harris and Phillip Pocock.
