Hollie McNish: Disgust, Love, and Lobsters

‘This book is written out of both hate and love for the world.’ So says Hollie McNish of her new poetry and essay collection, Lobster, the companion piece to Slug, her 2022 Sunday Times bestseller.

Join her tonight as she talks to Hannah Lavery about the new collection (and performs a few poems too!).
