Poetry. Fiction. An epic for an age without heroes, DID YOU PUT THE WEASELS OUT? is a celebration of the modern mythology that takes place in every small town. A modern update of the 8th century Gaelic saga The Ta-in, written in Alexander Pushkin's fiendish 'Onegin sonnet, ' Niall Bourke takes strict form to the extreme, and turns it into a hilarious, sharp-sighted satire of ordinary people's neuroses, indulgences and four-AM fears. Abandon your preconceptions: Bourke's prose-poetry operatic-verse-novel breaks all the rules--while managing to keep to them at the same time. Both traditional and undeniably of our time, DID YOU PUT THE WEASELS OUT? is poetry that celebrates the playfulness and uncertainty of being alive.
Autorenporträt
Born 1981, in North Kilkenny, Niall Bourke lives in London, SE 4. Likes and loves? Large and many: weekend coffee, poky bookstore, friends, laughter, his wife and daughter, swimming slalom through life's whitewater. Works as a teacher, thinning hair. Dislikes? If pushed, will declare distaste for the growing global race with man 'gainst fellow Wo and Man and the Devil take the also-rans. And how to end? With ignoble grace: stretches, yawns, scratches his head, sheathes his pen, goes off to bed.
