After close to a decade where he has focused on teaching,
fatherhood and running London's longest running poetry open mic,
Poetry Unplugged, Niall O'Sullivan returns with Werewolf of London,
a selection of some of his best known older poems alongside new
verse written during his print hiatus. His newer work is still
inflected with humour evident in his work since his 2004 debut, but
he seems to have found in his later work a register that ekes the
majesty out of his reflections. Nowhere is this more evident than
in the soaring nine-part sequence Now is Not the Time for Politics,
which starts out in the realm of fatherhood where 'the mundane
becomes so magical'; gathers the whole world and its winters in its
span, where the 'warbling beyond our curtain is/ some Pentecostals
giving Satan the boot'; and ends where most human interaction
begins, with the word 'hello' - except it is uttered from the
grave. A gem of fluid, funny, fierce verse.
