Zeus at Twilight

These inviting, conversational poems are up to something audacious. Giving voice to the arthritic Olympian amidst our familiar streets and houses, Will Walker alerts readers to the gods that live among—and in us. Whether bitching at time, ambition, and other people, or reaching near-transcendental joy in praise of a baby, a leaf, or a functioning household appliance, Walker restores a little divine mojo to our mortal step.
