Hollie McNish is back in Belfast for one night only with her brand-new book tour. A Sunday Times bestselling author, expect strong language and adult content, gift-wrapped in her much-loved poetry and chat as she reads from her brand-new collection Virgin; on love, loss, wolves and warm morning croissants.
Here, she will be joined by Scotland’s best-cherished poet and performer Michael Pedersen reading from his prize-winning poetry collection The Cat Prince, plus magical new novel, Muckle Flugga.
Hollie McNish is a poet and author based between Glasgow and Cambridge. She was the first poet to record at Abbey Road Studios, London and won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry for her poetic parenting memoir – Nobody Told Me – of which The Scotsman stated ‘The World Needs this Book’. She has published five further collections of poetry – Papers, Cherry Pie, Plum, and Slug and Lobster, both Sunday Times bestsellers. Her next book is out in October 2025. She loves writing.
