'The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide' is a guide to the emerging subculture of literary tattoos—a collection of more than 150 full-color photographs of human epidermis indelibly adorned with quotations and illustrations from Dickinson to Pynchon, from Shakespeare to Plath. With beloved lines of verse, literary portraits, and illustrations—and statements from the bearers on their tattoos' history and the personal significance of the chosen literary work — 'The Word Made Flesh' is part collection of photographs and part literary anthology written on skin.
