One of our firm favourites, poet Hollie McNishâs latest collection, Virgin, explores a six-letter word with outsized power. A power that should also be outdated, but is sadly not.Â
It is, as youâd expect from Hollie, a brilliant collection, packed with humour, rage, beauty, heartbreak and hope. She and Mick chat about dangerous words, what âvirginâ means to girls and women (and why it shouldnât), the perils of mashed potato and how to come to terms with the phrase âmaking loveâ. Â
Virgin is published by Fleet and available in all good bookshops. Details of Hollieâs tour can be found at holliepoetry.com.
