See Hollie McNish live and in person at Quarterhouse.
From Finnish saunas and soppy otters to grief, grandparents and Kellogg’s anti-masturbation pants, McNish's Slug holds a mirror lovingly up to the world, past and present. Slug is about the human condition: of birth and death and how we manage the possibilities in-between, captured in Hollie's driving, funny, hopeful poetry and prose.
This event is also part of the Folkestone Book Festival Digital Pass. By booking a Digital Pass you'll be able to access all talks and events and revisit anything you missed for up to a week after the festival.

I love Hollie’s poems. There is such raw honesty and warmth and often humour within them. She is one of the best poets we have.
