Ventriloquism for Monkeys

by Niall O'Sullivan

Niall O'Sullivan's first collection, 'you're not singing anymore' (flipped eye, 2004), explores religion, youth, and the many faces of London. It was received with widespread acclaim, becoming a 20th Century bestseller on Amazon.co.uk. In 'Ventriloquism for Monkeys, ' his second, he turns his attention to science, memory, evolution and ideology. "Niall O'Sullivan is known as a host and champion of live poetry in London. It's tempting to call his second collection a crossover - yet these don't read like performance pieces tamed for the page, for Niall is no genre hybrid, he is simply a good writer - warm, smart, thoughtful. His poetry inhabits a place where pertinence and impertinence meet." --Roddy Lumsden
