Consisting of 50 poems split into the different sections of: Youth, The Fallacy of Luxury, Society, Love, Grief, HAPPYAGONY by Mem Ferda is a thought provoking poetry collection that covers a broad spectrum. With poems of varying size and structure, from  longer form verses to more structured stanzas with rhyme and haikus, the collection offers a variety of pace and structure, offering a nice change of pace between the different poems if reading the collection from cover to cover. The author’s personal experiences of fame, alongside more relatable experiences of love and loss are detailed throughout, offering insight into his life while also encouraging thoughts to drift towards your own similar experiences. This collection also features monochrome illustrations in between each poem. These illustrations are clear and dynamic, and are a welcome visual accompaniment to the poem preceding it. 

A poetry collection that you can read from start to finish or steadily ponder over each piece the writing style and variety available means that this collection is accessible to newer poetry readers, which still delivers snapshots that more seasoned poetry readers would find interesting. For those familiar with the author’s on and off screen roles as actor and producer, HAPPYAGONY offers creative and unique autobiographical insight that feels more intimate than a memoir. Overall a worthwhile read for poetry fans.
