Summary

Marina Zilbergerts's first poetry collection, You Were Adam, explores the triumphs and disappointments of divine and human creativity. Drawing on the Bible and Jewish thought, Zilbergerts imagines creation through the lens of relationships-metaphysical, erotic, and devotional. Ranging across spiritual and biographical space, from Zhitomir, Ukraine, to the farmlands of Wisconsin, her poems breathe the consciousness of connection into the broken and everyday experience of the world.
