Saint-Torsten

Andy Bell Is Torsten.…… a series of concept albums, poetry books and musical theatre shows from the mind of a pansexual, semi-immortal, bohemian sensualist.

My new poetry pamphlet... 'Beau, Beau Sadisto!' evokes the disconnected, dissonant sensu-sexual overstimulation of a broken nation, seemingly, in terminal decline! Only £5! Only 50 copies!

Friends! Here's the promo video of my poem 'Endings' from my current @polaripress poetry collection, 'Cul-de-Sacrilege!' 'Endings' was first read at @Cheltpoetfest & @forumplus before being worked on for 'Cul-de-Sacrilege!' It's about the fear of a pending, imagined Armageddon.
