Literary Tattoos, or "The Word Made Flesh" from On Point with Tom Ashbrook Podcast

We take the full tour today of the world of literary tattoos to see what's there, and why. We speak with Eva Talmadge and Justin Taylor, editors of the book, "The Word Made Flesh."

Listen to that podcast show here. Meanwhile, the official website for hte book is here: http://www.wordmadeflesh.org/. Also, this was said on HuffPo:

From "Ecclesiastes" to "House of Leaves," from Dante to Stephen King, "The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide" is a celebration of and tribute to the vibrant and vital Babel that is literary culture today. Our contributors are women and men of all ages, living all around the world (though Brooklyn is, naturally, the best-represented region). Their tattoos stand as testaments to their dedication to literary culture in general, and to books culture in particular. (There are many personal anecdotes shared in "The Word Made Flesh," but not a single tattoo's origin story mentions words first read on a Kindle, iPhone or Nook -- at least none we've seen yet.) As well, the tattoos commemorate personal moments in each of their lives -- tragedies, triumphs, great loves.
