    Nadia Brown poetry collection “Unscrambled Eggs” is definitely high art, it's uplifting and easy to read with a free form of writing, her emotions are such that everyone can identify with but takes a little bit more to understand each poem perfectly and as such the ‘common man’ might have issues getting the message of each poem. I can say she's under the ‘modernist writer’ because their language use is a bit technical and that's the same language set she uses in her work of poetry. Going through the poetry, I felt a sort of connection in the sense that, her poetry touches your soul and helps you relate in a way that some poets never allow. These poems cover a wide range of the human experience, including dreams, fears, identity, love, emotions, growth, abandonment and also pain. I enjoyed reading many of the poems in this collection and I love Novelty and Ms. Ordinary and as such I can relate well with them. Novelty made me think, I love the twist at the end and as such didn't expect the end. It was an amazing read and I love the fact that the poems are short and precise and kind of makes you think. The beauty of the poem is how you read it and never get tired of reading it over again. The arrangements need to be worked on. It's a short poem, but won't be a bad idea to divide it into stanzas, no matter how short they are.
