Love Ghosts And Nose Hair

Author: Steven Herrick



Jack is sixteen. He's obsessed with the beautiful Annabel, the ghost of his mother, and nose hair.
'I have just written a great poem
A Classic.
One that's so good
University Professors will
read it, badly,
in front of hundreds of students
twenty years
after I die
to prove to the world
what a jewel
what a gift
what a gem
I gave
what a poet I was.'
Love Ghosts & Nose Hair is a bitter sweet comedy written in verse for young adults.
