About

"Practical Gods" by Carl Dennis, winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, offers a collection of wise and moving poems that challenge readers to see the world through new perspectives. Drawing on pagan and biblical themes, Dennis uses metaphor to illuminate everyday experiences and translate religious concepts into secular language. These clear and sensitive poems pay homage to the often overlooked household gods that enrich and sustain life, inviting readers to contemplate the deeper meanings found in the ordinary.
