A Eulogy to a Tragedy

by Harris Hazim

This book is the physical manifestation of the grief that haunts him during the day.A compilation of the late-night thoughts that stole his sleep.It is the demons of his mind that were sealed in this book.It is the devils of his heart that were banished into this book.The darkest thoughts, given form, and deathly musings, given life. The hymns of a broken soul.The unsavoury and immoral lust for flesh.The unwilling penitence for the sin of love.Dive into deep into the void, succumb to the abyss, where the deprivation of love, the disapproval from society, dissatisfaction with oneself, discontentment with others, and how religious beliefs, corrupts what once a jovial individual, into a twisted and malevolent being.Even so, to him, this is indeed the liberation of his soul.This is the book, which reveals true vulnerability, cloaked under false strength.A story laced tearfully into a collection of poems and prose, of repressed desires and forbidden love, a burden of carrying a disease deemed to be a taboo, and of recurring haunting wishes, for suicide and death.

Manifested throughout 197 pages, A Eulogy to a Tragedy was a tale painfully tucked into a compilation of poems and prose of unrequited crushes, lost love, and longing. Divided into three parts, all the words poured into this book had been tailored into a perfect contemporary and relatable silent musings of a broken soul. 

Although mainly filled with sorrowful poems, reading this book can be a source of great comfort for me, providing relief from repressed emotions. Through his poetry, Harris skilfully crafted his words of being unloved, of craving for a love from someone that he desperately wants but out of reach, of waiting for the love that is safely locked in the ocean of imaginations and dreams to finally come true. Anyone who may have ever had the experience of loving someone from afar, I think you'll be able to relate to his works. 

Poetry might not appeal to some people because most of them came with flowery language but not this one. That’s what I love the most about it. With a touch of simple yet powerful tone, the author effortlessly captured the pain that lingered of a lost soul, the darkness of thoughts that kept the demon awake when night peeped out, the aching and the tears that bear witness of a tired soul. It was tragically good and most of it hit too close to home. 

Happily recommended A Eulogy to A Tragedy to all of you! If you’re interested in getting a copy of this book, do check out Harris's Instagram for the details. Also thank you so much to Harris for sending me a review copy of your poetry book.

A Eulogy To A Tragedy by Harris Hazim is a poignant and moving collection of poetry that discovers through, love, grief, death and random musings. I find that it started off really strong and thought provoking that it made me unable to put it down until the very last page.

The poems are really lyrical and very well written that its a bit mind boggling why it isn't more hyped. Harris has truly captured ands deciphered the meaning of pain, sadness and love into his usage of words as well as the way its all strung together as his personal collection of poetry. It is seriously so mesmerising that I even ended up reading it in one sitting.

I really like how some of the poems rhyme and were put together really well. It is well thought through and I can really feel the emotions borne by the author right from the inked pages. Everything just fits, emotional and moving that this poet really shouldn't be overlooked as he is an immensely talented writer. I will definitely be on the lookout if Harris plans to publish another book because well, I've become a fan.

Overall, this is a really great poetry book and I would absolutely recommend it to those feeling lost and in pain through the wayward of our world that sometimes don't even make sense.
