-Katie Manning, author of Hereverent
Son of a Cult is a beautifully narrated memoir-in-verse that manages to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Told with unflinching honesty, childlike innocence, and with a deep desire to heal unconscionable wounds, Jones' story glows with resilience, determination, and youthful nostalgia. He takes us places few will ever experience, or even fathom, in a deeply human, sympathetic, yet never sentimental poetic journey that inspires and haunts beyond the page.
-John Sibley Williams, author of Scale Model of a Country at Dawn
Son of a Cult is an astonishing debut, a lyrical look at the poet's unconventional childhood in California in the 1970's. While these poems are rooted in a particular time and place, they invite us to gaze back to the misty land of childhood and remind us that "life is a dark antlered beast/dashing from our blind spot."
-Lisa Chavez, author of In an Angry Season
Exploring a past filled with pain and promise, boyhood lust and death, confusion, clarity, and every single type of human love, Son of a Cult is a hymn to the author's beloved state and the secret darkness and joy of a close family that remains close despite many challenges. The book leaves one breathless, filled with a warm sadness, and an unrequited nostalgia, if there is such a thing.
-Alejandro Escudé, author of The Book of the Unclaimed Dead
