Thanks to TL for the welcoming shout out and plug for the
rag. Starting next year I will have been publishing/editing
Your Flesh for twenty years! The publication is as TL
describes it, though we pride ourselves to be a bit more in
depth and literary intelligent by comparison to our DIY
publishing brethren, read "zines." My girlfriend (who has
been co-editor for the last eight years--nay, the one out of
the two of us with real editorial "chops") and I are both
loathe to call it one
(ssshhh..."zine"") as it is, put simply, something that
towers high above the general heard.
Moving on, the backbone of the rag has always been music,
generally of the DIY variety (these days they call it
"alternative" or some such nonsense) but being that the
publication is a reflection of our likes we've long since
established a running track record of putting a lot of
emphasis on fine and lowbrow artists, literary figures and
filmmakers.
Some of the many writers we've featured include Ezra Pound,
Andrei Codrescu, Marguerite Duras, George Pelecanos, Dennis
Lehane (interviewed by Pelecanos), Daniel Woodrell, Raymond
Chandler (written by Pelecanos), etc. Our new issue to hit
the streets in just a few more weeks contains a feature on
Gary Phillips.
Any-whoodle, current issues are $5 (US funds in the US)
post-paid (or on the stands), back issues are $7 (available
through us). Four issue subscriptions (which we greatly
encourage) are $15. For a detailed list of available back
issues you can write me off line and I'll gladly provide you
with the information.
Your Flesh can be found at better, more discriminating
independent bookstores and newsstand kiosks (everyone from
Book Soup, Mysterious Bookshop West to St Mark's Books carry
it--any booksellers on this list interested please drop me a
line!), and you can find us in better chains (if there really
is such a thing) like Borders, Tower Records, Virgin
Megastores, etc.
Well, that about covers it. My apologies to those of you who
feel imposed upon as I didn't join this list in order to use
it as a vehicle for self promotion.
Best, Peter Davis Your Flesh Mag PO Box 25764 Chicago, IL
