Hollie McNish

After a run of sold out shows up and down the UK, Glasgow and Cambridge-based poet and author Hollie McNish is back with a brand new book, Lobster and other things I'm learning to love.
Described by Matt Haigh as "one of the best poets we have”, and by Lemn Sissay as “like Pam Ayres on acid”, Hollie McNish is a Sunday Times bestselling writer whose live readings are not to be missed.
In Lobster, Hollie brings her much-loved style to questions of friendship, flags and newborns, clocks, cocks and volvos, shining a ridiculous and beautifully poetic lens upon all those things we have been taught to hate, and which we might just learn to love again.
Expect strong language and adult content, gift-wrapped in gorgeously crafted poetry.
McNish was the first poet to record at Abbey Road Studios, London and won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry for her poetic parenting memoir – Nobody Told Me - of which The Scotsman stated ‘The World Needs this Book’.
She has published four further collections of poetry – Papers, Cherry Pie, Plum and Slug, which was a Sunday Times bestseller.
