One of the famed NEA four, performance artist Tim Miller unleashes his childhood demons and adult trials by fire in this fascinating account of an artistic, sometimes bizarre life. His style is fresh, energetic, confident, and sexy - an eclectic mixture of poetry, performance piece, and autobiography. Through humour, memory and fantasy, gratuitious sex, and unabashed honesty, SHIRTS AND SKIN charts one gay man's take on the challenges of the last two decades of the millenium.
