Complimentary for Patrons
even if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time
with a full moon and a lone wolf
whimpering bloody-pawed from your insides
if you are knee-deep, puddle-spilled
puking up every warning that i gave you,
just call me - i will pick you up quick as prayers leave lips
i have blankets and hot chocolate, arms locked open,
i do not care what you have done,
never let shame stop you reaching for your phone
and dialling my number; i am no god i am no judge
i am your mother - call me and i will come
Hollie McNish writes poetry. Brilliant, beautiful poetry that surrounds you with love and punches you in the chest. She is the author of exceptional books and poetry collections including Slug, Virgin and Nobody Told me.
In this special live conversation, Hollie will recite and unpack five of her favourite poems from across her collection, exploring the stories behind them, the moments that sparked them, and what it really takes to write words that hit people in the chest and stay there.
An evening for poetry lovers, curious minds and anyone craving something honest and beautifully human.
