The title poem from my book Unscrambled Eggs was inspired by Joel Osteen, the pastor of the nondenominational Lakewood Mega-Church in Houston, Texas. His sermon about not letting your past-- no matter what you’ve been through-- determine your future made quite an impression on me. But as simple as that message is, we often allow the past to define our lives. We live by our failures; our setbacks oftentimes, dictates our being.
Unscrambled Eggs is familiar as it is endearing. Touched by a unique artist, this book will have you searching inside your own spirit to compare the likeness of her life to your own. Nadia´s style is much craft over structure - blending a smooth mixture of honest poetry. There are no borders, no hidden shelves, no curves or waves of unimportant issues in these drafts; it is indeed a pure and straight journey on a fruitful road of a true class artist´s life and her surroundings. Good poetry doesn´t really tell us much at all; except that it just rounds off various options and in Unscrambled Eggs; it gives us a nice and easy insight to perhaps one of the better writers of this ancient craft called poetry.
