This is a confessional book of masks and personae, of depopulated landscapes haunted by history's violence, of speakers whose conflicted truth-telling is marked by sense of complicity in the falsehoods they glimpse around them. \"I'm aging very slowly, because every part of me \/ is already dead,\" says Frankenstein's monster. With his formidable powers of observation and inimitable ear for the cadences of speech, Arthur shows himself to be, in only his second book, one of the best English-language poets writing today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Arthur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vehicule Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Signal Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550655223","brand":"Vehicule Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43195579367561,"sku":"9781550655223","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_917d1f62-f9f2-4071-b5b3-8a3e7e181bd3.jpg?v=1733863095","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-suicides-son-9781550655223","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
