Carl Dennis has won acclaim for \"wise, original, and often deeply moving\" poems that \"ease the reader out of accustomed modes of seeing and perceiving\" \u003cb\u003e(The New York Times)\u003c\/b\u003e. Many of the poems in this new book involve an attempt to enter into dialogue with pagan and biblical perspectives, to throw light on ordinary experience through metaphor borrowed from religious myth and to translate religious myth into secular terms. While making no claims to put us in touch with some ultimate reality, these clear, precise, sensitive poems help us to pay homage to the everyday household gods that are easy to ignore, the gods that sustain life and make it rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Dennis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Poets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 5.99w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141002309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pulitzer Prize - Winner","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713525813385,"sku":"9780141002309","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5785403a-6832-44b0-9dff-22430924e362.jpg?v=1719614516","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/practical-gods-pulitzer-prize-winner-9780141002309","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
