Hollie McNish

Hollie McNish is a poet whose live readings are not to be missed. After a run of sold out shows up and down the UK, she is back with the paperback tour of Lobster and other things I’m learning to love.

A Sunday Times bestselling book, expect strong language and adult content, gift-wrapped in gorgeously crafted poetry as she reads from this collection plus a selection of firm favourites from Slug and Nobody Told Me.
