The Sound of Revolution (ePub)

A new collection of Poetry (and a few photos) from beat poet, musician and lomographer Grae J. Wall, offering uplifting vignettes of anxiety, division, rebellion and cats!

Collated during lock-down, The Sound of Revolution is a collection of poems from recent years that reflect in some way on where we are right now. These are poems from the barricades of protest, from artistic ventures overseas and from moments of contemplation and self-healing.

Ironically it has been this period of covid enforced inactivity that has allowed Grae the time to put the book together (as well as a number of lock-down recordings) and has seen a flurry of online performance opportunity.

Being invited to perform on-line for a variety of events including Paris Lit Up, XR Arts, The UH Festival of Ideas and All in the Mind Festival has given focus, purpose and much needed connectivity.

This period has allowed us all to contemplate how a new normal might look and in some ways and for Grae a chance to reconnected with that rebellious soul, the agitator and activist.

¿

2020 has found him out on the streets fighting for a fairer, safer world - angered by the lethargy and inaction of the traditional political construct. Missing regular performance tours on the continent he values now more than ever those connections with similar and differing spirits overseas - that small beautiful planet we inhabit - putting the world to rights with an after-show beer.

These poems come from journeys of discovery, times of struggle, sometimes dark, sometimes silly, empathy, confusion, red wine, crazy times, compassion and a wry smile - the sound of revolution!
