Share This Review

The prematurely born baby, an angel that has lost its wings, forgotten its divine nature, and is enshrined in the present moment.
A being that is tethering on the cusp of two worlds, of being and yet of not being. A little soul that reminds everyone around it how fragile life is. Anna-Karen Sorensen pulls us into this state of fragile existence, exposing the fears, hopes, and dreams of those that come into contact with these little angels.

She dives deep into the emotional turmoil that is the chaos inevitably following in the wake of a child born too soon. With her poems, she paints the theme of the baby that is born before its body is ready; of the ones that pass over and those that make it through. The mother that remembers her loss, the medical staff, the baby itself, all put in the spotlight and examined with love and care.

A Fate Unwound Too Soon is a book that requires the reader to step through the portals of poetry with an open mind. I loved how the author managed to capture the raw emotions in her poetry, giving the reader perspective into each person's innermost world. One gets to experience the gut-wrenching anguish of the mother that loses a child, but also the determination of a little being, clinging to every breath.

There is nothing I didn't like about this book. Perhaps my first reaction was to shy away from the light of emotional contemplation. It wasn't possible to read through these poems without being touched deeply by the words. It does require one to read over each poem a couple of times because the words are layered with multiple facets of meaning that cannot be comprehended by only reading it once. As part of a library, it will be treasured for many years.

There were no errors, and the book was exceptionally well edited. I am giving it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars because it deserves to be counted amongst the best. This book is meant for a target audience. I would recommend it to medical professionals, mothers, and those who have suffered a loss. This book is not meant as a way to pass a few idle hours. It contains words that will haunt the recesses of the reader's mind, and possibly awaken dormant emotions. Rather steer clear if you are suffering from unresolved trauma. Anyone that has been touched by premature birth, will treasure this book.

Poetry is not my favourite genre of literature, although it is associated with deep thoughts and emotion. However, this is a well written review and I believe the book will be okay too.
