Angela Psalm is a Melbourne, Australia, based poetess who started writing at the tender age of 10 years old in her journals to make sense of her emotions and social landscape.While traversing through her love of sci-fi, fantasy and adventure books, particularly books on Arthurian Legend her favourite was Marion Zimmer Bradley’s retelling ‘Mists of Avalon’, Jane Austen collections. She found her love of sonnets in Shakespeare and the incredible Bronte Sisters, in her mournful sadness.While still very much in love with writing, she gave up after she was told that she would never succeed by a Mentor at the age of 20. Crushed, she stopped writing. During that period away from writing she continued to consume books, losing herself in their stories and journeys while she went into a career in Holistic energy work and remedial massage as well as business.But during the covid lockdown she found herself back into journal writing trying to find herself but instead of losing herself in the darkness she used it as a tool to find herself again in writing.On Instagram in August 2020, a platform of belonging / sympatico, she found lifelong friends and all-encompassing love of poetry, reading other poets words. While her writing style can be dark and / or sensual, it’s only in search of light.To connect find her on Instagram: @angela_psalmRead more about this authorRead less about this author
