Think Bill Hicks meets Mark Thomas, add a splash of rhyme and you’ve got Monkey Poet.

Philip Marlowe meets classic Clint Eastwood and Last Man Standing. A comedy-film-noir-mystery murder-poetry-thriller.

A serial killer is killing the poets on Literature Lane and Beat St, and frankly, no one cares...Who would?

Sylvia Plath calls on Monkey Poet to investigate Keats’ death. This case has nothing to do with daffodils.

Shakespeare warns him off the case, Homer wants him to take it, Wilde winks suggestively, and Monkey Poet gets drawn into a mystery that answers the greatest question of all. Why bother with poetry?
