Niall’s first collection, you’re not singing anymore (waterways, 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. …humour is a defining factor in the spoken word. O’Sullivan’s own works, compiled in his new collection, ‘You’re Not Singing Anymore’, are cases in point – containing funny and compassionate observations about disparate lives glimpsed on London street corners. -Time Out buy online: flipped eye bookstore amazon uk amazon.com
In Ventriloquism for Monkeys, his second, he turns his attention to science, memory, evolution and ideology. It’s tempting to call his [Niall's] 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 flipped eye bookstore amazon uk amazon.com
