Badcurious : Jeroen den Haan
Funny, sexy, sad, and sappy nonpretentious poetry
A huge, 285+ page collection of nonpretentious poems with a twist that Jeroen den Haan posted as Hieronymus on Instagram.
Funny, touching and vulgar, but mostly different from what you’re used to.
Except for some shadorma and tanka poems, there seem to be no limits on length (or lack thereof), subject and/or form.
Rhyming and not rhyming, observing reality or made-up stuff, it really goes every direction but the right one.
Subjects range from humor to love, mental health to the girl working the register in the local supermarket, and dreams to sexual fantasies.
Nothing is off-limits, nothing is filtered.
Lazy Prey by Jeroen den Haan is also on Whizbuzz Books.

Notes To Stephanie: Middle Aged Love Letters And Life Stories : Jeffery W Turner
Young adults are not the only ones that fall in love and get married. People in their middle age do that too. This book is the story of one such couple as told by the “notes” written by the husband to his wife.
These notes are not just love notes but also tell the tale of how life tests people and how its events sometimes feel overwhelming. They also show how couples do get through difficult times and proceed on through their lives, not knowing to what destination many times.
If you sometimes wonder if you are the only one over 40 with a difficult adult child, a conflict at work, or something else trying your patience, you are not alone. You will also know that life is also good, and sometimes filled with hope and love. Even for a brief time.
These tales of life’s events and stories that we all share are contained in these pages, these “notes to Stephanie”.
