'Segmenting her poetry into themes on the divine, nature, creativity, intimacy, the feminine, suffering, conflict and ancestors, Bee covers the spectrum of emotions, fears, and anxieties of human belief and the subsequent consequences and inequality of our inaction. But her poetry also encapsulates the love, emotion, compassion, and at times despair, of the human condition. This is Bee Williamson's seventh collection of poetry and artwork.'  (Publication summary)

'This book contains a collection of nature poems and art work, lovingly designed and crafted by Melbourne-based artist, Bee Williamson.

'The work huddles around her love of Nature, where she finds peace, joy and the inspiration to write and draw, deep within the source and solace of nature’s gentle hand. Her grandfather, acclaimed nature writer Henry Williamson, encouraged Bee, through his undeniable spiritual presence, to reveal her deep expression and concerns within this work, her second published book, ‘Nature, a gift’.

'The simple things of life matter to Bee – her soul embracing the beauty of a seed, a flower, a tree, a bird. This work is offered as a gift to the reader, an invitation to reveal in simplicity where one can find a warm earthly heart beating: cushioned from modernity.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon The Hidden Self Naomi Downie , Bee Williamson , Caulfield North : Naomi Downie Bee Williamson , 2009 10282643 2009 selected work poetry

'This collection of art and poetry from Bee Williamson and Naomi Downie is a beautiful book for yourself or a gift for a loved one. The eight colour plates and other black and white images are, like the poems, evocative of female sexuality and spirituality.

'Bee Williamson, a Melbourne-based artist, chooses photography, mixed media and illustration to explore and celebrate the female form, particularly through dance. Bee likes to explore her own femininity, with a special affinity for flowers. She says “the process of making art is as important to her as the finished work itself. Art for her is meditation-in-action.”

'Naomi Downie, an artist from Newcastle, has selected works from her collection that trace the journey of her search for meaning. She uses photography and mixed media to dive deep into the themes of myths, love and mystic visions gathered from her meditations. She says, “I love the mystery in the process of artmaking, the joy of being a part of the universal creative force. A gift of gratitude and communication for that which has no words.”

'Both Bee’s and Naomi’s poetry have themes of intimacy, sexuality, identity and nature, and look at the deeper truths and legends surrounding women and spirituality.' (Publication summary)
