An epic adventure fantasy in which a group of teenage friends discover they are actually Greek gods training for a future war. “He stays.” Those two simple words would seal the fates of more than a dozen teenagers. Six years earlier, Ashley and her friends discovered they were reincarnations of the Greek gods when they survived a trip into the deadly forest and received a prophecy foretelling a war in their future. They had six years to prepare, to make sense of the prophecy. Ashley thought six years would be enough. But it wasn’t even close. Nothing in the gods’ tiny town or their beloved forest could have prepared them for the sudden problems that arise after the arrival of a mysterious teenage boy, a human. The gods all know he’s dangerous, but only Ashley, aka Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, knows there is more to this boy’s destiny. And she has sworn to keep it a secret. Unfortunately, Lord Hades, the ruler of the Underworld, and his monster assassins don’t give the other gods much time to get to the truth. Now, the gods and the hero-in-training have no choice but to work together with a corrupt society to defend to the death their once-carefree reign.

“‘Go play!’ advises Peary in her third collection, and we do, with ‘a tassel of rain,’ with ‘dove-colored sounds’ and ‘starter castles.’ The topos is New England archaeology; it’s Colorforms and Legos; Charley Harper landscapes become interiors; we are delighted to already find ourselves where we couldn’t possibly get to.”—Caroline Knox, author, Flemish: Poems In Control Bird Alt Delete, the reader is invited to explore strange landscapes: some based on the ruins of New England and others following the architectural prints of the unconscious. The reader walks through woods filled with cellar holes, rock walls, and lilac bushes, and is made to think of people gone missing. Robert Frost meets Times Square. Nature intrudes in unexpected ways on domestic settings—and vice versa—domestic and industrial settings appear in bits inside the pastoral. Birds, one-dimensional but strangely wise, flit back and forth and rebelliously tape up their songs. The senses are thoroughly blended, leading to strange combinations and sensory experiences, to states of mindfulness and blizzard distraction. All the while, the unconscious threatens to intrude, with its underlined places, its trap doors inside ordinary conversations, the mazes it hangs up like “welcome home” banners next to people’s mouths while they speak. The reader follows the first-person I through mazes, office spaces, and coils of highway traffic, hoping for some redemption, some sort of answer to all the deletion.
