Kwame Dawes praises "Icarus in Love" ...

“…this female brain is always keeping time…” In this love song, Icarus in Love, each word is packed with weight and consideration—such that when the poet speaks of keeping time, the keeping is the collecting, the cherishing, the reflecting, the shaping, and the adoration of time, of memory, of the future, of tradition, of art. Antoinette Brim enters emotions with optimism and hope of enlightenment, and often she achieves such in these poems. Yes, “…this female brain is always measuring…” the substance and nature of love.
