Revelation Valley
By Lisa Maule

Revelation Valley is a selection of her writing performed by Lisa with titles such as My Capitalist Stapler, Cohesion is Also a Radical Act and Hate (a poem about love).

“Not a straight town at all, not a straight down. An asphalt zigzag. Home to hydrangea’s, cats, rats, cars, tartan trinkets, china tea cups and traces of ancient trees.”

Image description
A coloured sketch by Lisa Maule of a person looking to one side, thinking pensively. They have short hair and glasses. In the background is a zigzag pattern collage made from books and magazines. Partial words say 'The Savage Coloniser', and 'Always Speaking'. Lana Lopesi and Guled Mire are two names in tiny text that can be made out.
