Unscrambled Eggs personifies personal growth and spiritual inspiration. It is a self-reflection and journey to find one's purpose in life. Nadia Brown's book, Unscrambled Eggs is a profound and riveting collection of poetry that enlightens; it is honest and thought-provoking book which speaks the way of life and the world. The poems in this book were written over a five year period and reflects the author's experiences, those close to her, and issues that she cares very passionately about.
Having no formal training as a writer, she learned to write poetry by reading psalms from the Bible and by emulating poets she admired - namely Maya Angelou. Nadia most enjoys reading and writing poems that inform, offer value, add depth and give meaning to the daily lives of readers. She believes that this book encompasses all those traits without being overtly preachy. Though the overall theme of the book is about one's purpose, it is not a how-to-book, but a source with which readers can relate to in some form. The author explains that she did not set out to write a manuscript, "Unscrambled Eggs" was a belief that evolved over time. Nadia credits life's lessons as the prime inspiration for this book.

Nadia Brown writes with deep wisdom and insight in her book of poetry, Unscrambled Eggs. In her poem Unscrambled Eggs, she states what many need to learn: we cannot change the past. Sometimes is a poignant look at life in today’s culture. Like MS Brown, I sometimes wonder if I should have been born many years earlier. Pebble is one of my favorites in this collection. We are small and insignificant in the vastness of the universe. Brown reminds us of the plight of the poor, regardless of how we attempt to close our eyes to them.
I enjoyed Nadia Brown’s book immensely. She opens her heart and soul to readers, sharing her deepest thoughts. Brown has great artistic talent. I encourage her to continue her efforts.

Touching with a bittersweet wisdom. Nadia has written a beautiful, moving book. I believe she will become a major poet in America if she continues to write like this.

Super fantastic! It’s been quite a while since I have been so moved by poetry. “Unscrambled Eggs” has been such a book. After all, you can’t unscramble an egg.
I’m a poet at heart and know the feelings that can rush through a body, the feelings that what you are thinking “must” be placed on paper before the moment of exhilaration is gone. Such are the writings of Ms. Brown. She writes free verse and in very few instances does she need a comma to separate a thought. She started writing poetry in 1999 after studying many of the Psalms in the Bible to get a feel for how poetry is written. Her poetry reminds me of Dr. Maya Angelou’s writings and how it clamors to be free from earthly boundaries. Ms. Brown has accomplished that mission, something I think she may not have been aware of when she was writing each poem; Maya Angelous is her favorite poet.
There’s flow and grace in her writing and it’s easy to read. I finished her 70 poems in a little more than thirty minutes and wanted more to read. Her poetry sets one’s mind free to soar as she pours out her soul onto paper and the reader begins to ponder what she has written. She’s a gifted poet and this is her first book. I daresay someday her poems will be used in classrooms throughout America as examples of fine writing that is to be emulated and stir the pulse of the reader to open new avenues to thinking and expressing oneself.
Ms. Brown and her family live in Florida and I’m blessed for having been able to read her book of poems. Many people write but their writing has no effect on the reader. Not true with Nadia. Her poems are sweeping in nature and make the reader think. These are not deep poems that have to be re-read to get the meaning; it’s right there on the surface. She just makes one think about what she has written.
I’m glad I have this book in my library for I will refer to it quite frequently. I realize it has made changes for the better in me.

What a delight it was to read from "Unscrambled Eggs". The author, Nadia Brown, shows a maturity in her writing, far beyond her years. She delves into what life is all about for most of us, and puts it on our plate, face up. A highly suggested read.
