29-year-old Hannah's three books of poetry have been reprinted numerous times in her native Britain, where she is a literary sensation. Her work is attracting the readership usually reserved for novelists. This bouncy, illustrated selection brings her brash and funny rhymes about men, love and lust to Australian readers for the first time.
'When I Am Famous
When I am famous, in the years to come,
I know how keen you'll be to share the glory:
When journalists whip out a hefty sum
Before your nose, to make you sell our story,
You'll have no qualms. I, therefore, will expect
Full details of our sex life in The Sun.
I will not sue you, nor will I object
In any way - I'll treat it as good fun.
Make sure to give them all the dirty bits.
The truth gets dull - why not throw them some lies,
Some strange inventions? Say I've got three tits
Or four. Meanwhile I've got a nice surprise
In store for you - I'll make you tremble yet:
I know about your flower-pressing set.'
