Virgin: one little six-letter word that holds such incredible power. The power to pressure, to judge, to harm, to praise, to profit, to punish. But virginity is also just a concept, a label that has been pressed upon people for centuries in numerous cultures worldwide.
In this highly anticipated collection of poetry, 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. Whether considering if Mary was a fan of her own nickname, to rejoicing her annual excitement in ice cream vans, to looking back on how ridiculously she ate creamy mashed potato with her family after apparently 'losing' her own virginity, she examines in her own inimitable way the tracks this concept makes throughout so many minds, and the possibilities of freedom.
At times hilarious, at times harrowing, always hopeful - a poetic love letter against the more nefarious effects of purity culture packed with stacks of honeycomb, hand holds and early morning light.

Reseñas de la crítica
Myth-shattering poetry about purity and sex . . . full of tenderness and humour
Demystifying and detoxifying . . . wit is wielded with scalpel precision and immediacy and accessibility is prized over dense lyricism. She is a poet for those who think they don't like poetry and a tonic for those who know they do
Honest, funny and fiercely relatable . . . with warmth and wit, she has helped to bring poetry off the page and into people's lives
Characteristically frank and forthright, variously angry, funny, confrontational and explicit . . . it reads like a kind of innocence regained
