God Gave Them To Me

God Gave Them to Me is a collection of short poems written by Carolyn J. Brent. Carolyn was born in 1946 and grew up during racial segregation in rural, sparsely populated Glencoe, Louisiana. Having a proclivity for writing since she was a young girl, Carolyn used poetry as an escape from life's hardships and a retreat towards the God who could carry her through them. Carolyn is a mother, daughter, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. She is also widely known by another moniker---survivor. Her writing is deeply personal and testimonial because of the countless tragedies she has survived and the profound miracles she has experienced. This book is a rich glimpse into seven full decades worth of Carolyn's musings. With poems like "Family, Don't Cry For Me", "Look at Where We're At", and "It Tis I Lord", you will find that God Gave Them to Me is a diverse love letter to her family, her country, and ultimately---her God.
