 Share this product | A Well Written Bodyby Karlo Mila A clever, modern and sensitive collection, A Well Written Body is a collaborative venture between artist and writer. After reading the first draft of the collection, Delicia envisaged a ten metre painting - a continuous allegory of the black butterfly. As Delicia's paintings emerged, Karlo wrote new pieces inspired by the images. A true dialogue evolved, creating a multidimensional conversation of images and imaginings between two women, crossing art forms and cultures. For this collection of poems, Karlo was mentored by fellow Montana award-winning poet Glenn Colquhoun. The book explores issues of desire and longing, identity and belonging, all with Karlo's refreshing honesty and wit. Karlo and Delicia have a long partnership and Delicia painted the portrait of Karlo on the cover of Dream Fish Floating Karlo is a well known performance poet who regularly appears at literary festivals both in New Zealand and overseas.
