Slug

The Sunday Times bestseller

'An intoxicating mixture of poetry and prose, Slug is a taboo-busting delight' - Scotsman

'One of the best poets we have' - Matt Haig

'She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love' - Kae Tempest

The new collection of poetry and prose from the Ted Hughes Award-winning author of Nobody Told Me.

From Finnish saunas and soppy otters to grief, grandparents and Kellogg's anti-masturbation pants, Slug is a book that holds a mirror lovingly up to the world, past and present, through Hollie's driving, funny, hopeful poetry and prose. Slug is about the human condition: of birth and death and how we manage the possibilities in between.

'The inimitable words of poet/goddess Hollie McNish once again hold up honest, damn funny and refreshing takes on the everydayness of our lives... Never have we needed her more' - Stylist

'Hollie always articulates exactly how I feel' - Charly Cox

'A tribute to life itself' - Red.
