Author Description

Ventriloquism is the debut print book by Prathna Lor. It contains 39 short prose poems or pieces of flash fiction. The genders/identities of the narrators and protagonists in these poems, as well as the extent to which obviously fictional/fantastical elements are incorporated, vary widely, as do the tone and style, so it makes creative sense to call what the author is doing a kind of ventriloquism, a projection of his voice such that it seems to come from other sources. --Future Tense Books.
