Antoinette Brim's These Women You Gave Me brings front and center Biblical mythology and legend to prove a truth that can only be proven through poetry. Brim's poems sing of the ability women have always had to love and thrive in spite of the most oppressive odds, or as Brim herself would say, "His heavy breath filled her ears. She awakened beneath." This is really gorgeous work.
--Jericho Brown

In These Women You Gave Me, Antoinette Brim weaves her personification poems of Lilith, Eden and Eve into a collection that is intimate and powerful. Her sensual, precise poems take root and resonate with the feminine in each of us. "Amidst the waters of the firmament: / male and female float; as only indigo shadows/stitched to the depths with light can do...."Antoinette Brim's poetry is evocative, risky and true.
--Suzanne Frischkorn

In These Women You Gave Me, Antoinette Brim employs a meticulous, lyric sensibility to remind readers of the first women of the Bible and the roles women in the Judeo-Christian tradition have occupied since. This is a bold symphony to Lilith, the first woman, who "has read the Book and found her name erased." Eve, the second wife, submits; Lilith owns her name, her reflection, her body, and soul. Brim counters the erasure with a brilliant light and language that empowers all women, that gives cause for each reader to consider that the story is often not fully told.
