This paper presents itself in the form of a collage composed from a structured and written interview, conducted for this purpose, with the Portuguese artist Miguel de Carvalho, in January 2021. Addressing issues around his intermedia poetics, we aim to dissect the making of his authorial literary photobooks, produced in the period of 2005-2020. The collage was chosen as the method and format for this text because it resonates the interviewee's wordimage creations. He produces them through the appropriation of pre-existing materials and other works, giving them a new body. With the same movement, we proceed meddling us with the wordimages of Miguel de Carvalho – ‘plastic poet’ who, in the oceanic distance that separates us, accepted the adventure of seeing now a new body arisen through other hands based on his own. Hence the ‘poetic trick’ of handwriting this text because the calligraphy is also a body and ours are here, as a collage.
