Torment and Soul

Bee Williamson

It was time to tackle the big issues in life: God, War, Love, Nature, Life and Madness. As a Café Poet for Australia Poetry Ltd, in Armadale she would write the backbone of Torment & Soul. In this work, which intersperses the poetry with intimate drawings, she shares her poetic vision of the world, speaking with her innermost voice and the voice of nature. Poems from her student years at the VCA and other poems written during periods of mental illness. Rich in imagery and with a spiritual alchemy that draws on every faith from Sufi to Aboriginal, Torment & Soul is a visionary and sensual feast, both uplifting and challenging.
