Hollie McNish: Virgin
Two of the UK’s leading spoken word performers join forces for the first time for an unmissable night of poetry.
Virgin snow
Virgin mojitos
Virgin mother
Virgin Mary
Virgin: one little six letter word that holds such incredible power.
Hollie McNish is the author of Sunday Times bestsellers, Slug and Lobster, the Ted Hughes Award-winning Nobody Told Me, and now her brand-new book, Virgin. In this highly anticipated collection, Hollie McNish unpicks the role this word has played in her own life, as well as others, with her trademark mix of humour, fury and compassion.
She is joined by World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker, a poet and a maths graduate who writes about important stuff like hope, dinosaurs and German falafel-spoons. His work has been shared on TED.com and viewed by millions online but is even better in person. His latest collection Wonderful came out in May 2024 alongside a 40-date sellout UK and Ireland tour of the same name, and he recently headlined the Poet’s Revival at the Royal Albert Hall.
