A Broken Heart, Soon to Be Healed

This collection of poems from Norwegian writer, L. A. Johnsen, is a moving study of the exquisite pain of love, particularly unrequited love. The poems are sometimes railing, raging against the unfairness of being played. They are sometimes despairing, sometimes calm and contemplative. Here we can see the great strength that can be found in emerging changed but whole from a heart-breaking relationship. Images of the ocean in all its desolate majesty are ever-present in this collection, and give the reader a sense of being unmoored on an unpredictable sea. There is strength, ferocity and even calm to be found here. This collection ultimately strikes a note of defiant hope, that after being broken, the self can be dusted off, pieced back together and sent out into the world again, stronger than before.
