A Well Written Body full of verse and code under its folds
Author(s): Poems by Karlo Mila (paintings by Delicia Sampero)
A clever, modern and sensitive collection of poetry - a collaborative venture between artist (Delicia Sampero) and poet (Karlo Mila). After reading the first draft of the poems, Delicia envisaged a ten metre painting - a continuous allegory of hte black butterfly. As Delicia's paintings emerged, Karlo wrote new pieces inspired by the images. The book explores issues of desire and longing, identity and belonging, all with Karlo's refreshing honesty and wit.
