Ode To An Embryo by Dawn Apiarist

This poetry collection focuses on early pregnancy loss, the hopes for the tender life that was then so cruelly taken away before it had a chance to flourish and explores all the emotions you can feel as a would have been mum facing the heartbreak of losing the chance to have your baby. A stand out poem to me simply titled, Death, was a simple poem reflecting on how people can consider a death of an embryo no loss as it was so early, yet, the fact is that was a life taking shape no matter how early and this collection honours the tender early life that never hot the chabce to flourish.
