Lisa Devon is a suburban Mom who uses poetry
to express her frustrations with the world. With
topics ranging from policities to parenting, no
one is spared her ire. Luckily for the listener, the
madder she gets, the funnier it is.
Lisa Devon’s work is heavily influenced by Dr.
Seuss, with word play sandwiched between
rhythm & rhyme. Her unexpected voice and
impassioned performance offers a fun and fresh
perspective on the issues we all face.
Lisa Devon has performed at various venues
around Indianapolis, IN and in other cities. Her
first book of poetry was released by Chatter
House Press.
