(Un)caged Words - Launch of a book of Poetry and Illustrations

Deborah Baldassi, is an established illustrator and has been a feature of the South Australian Living Artists Festival for years.

Meanwhile David Winderlich has done nothing more productive than stand transfixed in supermarket aisles riffing rhymes from the names of cleaning products.

But they have come together to launch David's first book of poetry, "(Un)caged Words", which is graced by Deborah's vivid and delicately rendered illustrations.

Those illustrations will be part of Deborah Baldassi's 2026 SALA Exhibition.

With two launches for the price of one, this event is clearly a bargain!

And as an added attraction the art exhibition and poetry book will be launched by SA Identity and former ABC Evening Show host Peter Goers.

This event is indeed a bargain, but it will also be a revelation: Sheep, sperm, cops and rubbish bins have never been depicted this way.

More familiar themes like family and love and war are told with a twist in the tale, or take a road less travelled.

The launch will be held in the Copper Coast's very own, One More Page.

So come along to support and meet local writers and artists.
