The poems in Homemade Egyptian Gods concern a mother who is unable to love her daughter; a father who loves his daughter, but feels powerless to help her or to confront his wife; and a daughter who, though barely literate, has not given up on one day being loved. The mother sublimates her cold feelings towards her daughter by creating sculptures of Egyptian gods. The father buries himself in his work as an invertebrate marine biologist. Somehow, love wins out in the end.
