Happiness FM by Mary Dickins
These playful and irreverent poems form a journey through the complexities and contradictions of modern life. Mary Dickins will introduce you to original characters and ideas with wry humour and tenderness. Happiness FM is a celebration of all that is sublime and ridiculous in the world.
'Happiness FM' will take you on an exhilarating ride, travelling at breakneck speed from the everyday to the transcendental and back again. But as you read between the layers of laughs, jaunty rhythms and irresistible rhymes, you'll discover an understated pathos and a highly politicised mind at work. These poems will sing in your mind long after you've closed the pages of this determined, honest and uplifting collection.' - Jacqueline Saphra
