Hollie McNish is a poet who tours the country performing her poems. She says the whole of the UK is full of amazing theatres and bookshops. I love Hollie's writing, the way she looks at motherhood, and how she always stand up for her small person, which I feel is empowering for them both. I was delighted when she offered to read one of my favourite poems of hers during our chat. Hollie told me how she books her own gigs, which impresses me a lot. She said that she loves travelling around Britain

Powerful! via Hollie Poetry 💞 "British poet Holly McNish’s incredible spoken word poem, “Embarrassed,” attacks everything from aggressive formula marketing to the double standard of anti-breastfeeding discrimination in a world of “billboards covered in tits.” Massive chills and tears in my eyes." @dorideer | L.R.Knost - Little Hearts/Gentle Parenting Resources

Welcome to Kemps on the Corner in Wetherby, England! 📚💕 First day of the #Scotandtour and I’ve already found a lush bookshop. It’s called @kempswetherby and it’s in Wetherby, England en route to tonight’s gig. Support your local bookshop. Stop buying books from amazon please. It’s shite for authors, shite for bookshops and shite for the world ❤️ All my tour dates are up at www.holliepoetry.com/livedates #poetry #holliemcnish #spokenword #bookshops #indiebookstore #loveyou | Hollie McNish
