With Benjamin Zephaniah stating ‘I can’t take my ears off her’ and Kate Tempest describing her poetry as ‘welcoming, galvanising and beautiful’, Ted Hughes Award winner Hollie McNish is a poet whose readings are not to be missed. She has garnered over 10 million YouTube views for her online poetry readings and was the first poet to record at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios.

Her collection, Nobody Told Me, for which she won the Ted Hughes award has been translated into French, Spanish and German.

Expect strong language as she talks fruit and flesh, guilt, sex, politics, death, breasts, transformers and more.
