Womb: A Poem in Dramatic Form

0/5 ( ratings)

An Australian Gothic work, the narrative of the poem takes place solely inside a shed on an abandoned farm in rural Australia. Jimmy, an injured, failed rodeo cowboy and bull rider, has become obsessed with television actress Bunni Rose and has kidnapped Monica, a prostitute, and taken her to his dilapidated family farm and tried to turn her into the actress to begin a life completely outside of society with her as his partner.

Womb was published as part of a collaborative work of music and words by TVISB and Australian poet Robbie Coburn. Robbie’s text, a poem in dramatic form, challenges the idea of self-identity and masculinity, while also exploring trauma, sex, violence, death and isolation. Dark, claustrophobic ambience surrounds the listener completely, and provides an appropriate soundscape to the bleak and at times disturbing text.
