A Lack of Good Sons is a book of poetry that carries us through many realms - Greek myth, the Bible, dream, and the earthly world, with all its beauty and violence. An eclectic range of speakers, from deities to inanimate objects, describe encounters and turning points in their lives. A ship's mast remembers itself as a tree. A boy is held hostage by his hair. A gardener is abducted by aliens. And the three Fates - spinning, snipping, sewing through the various ages of men - abruptly run out of thread. Opening with a bizarre sight through a window and closing with a love letter, Jake Arthur's wonderfully unsettling, funny and romantic !rst book keeps readers guessing what will come next.
