Ellis is fourteen. His parents have split up - Mom's gone New Age in Tucson with some asshole abstract artist; and Dad - Fucker Frank, is sporting nerdy glasses and retailing Mexican knick-knacks to Washington wannabes. Ellis is about to start at a squaresville boarding-school. It's your standard dysfunctional family thing. Except that Ellis has been hitting the bong since he was eleven, has a goat-man for a guru, and a weed-wisdom beyond his years. "Goats" is an extra-mellow coming-of-age tale - quirky, touching and very funny. It's about growing up and getting your shit together.
Mark Poirier was born and grew up in Arizona, the fifth of eleven children. He studied at the Iowa Writer's Workshop and received a Michener Fellowship. He is the author of Naked Pueblo, Unsung Heroes of American Industry and Modern Ranch Living, all also published by Bloomsbury.
