"Award winning poet Hollie McNish joins Happiful's podcast ahead of her appearance at Hay Festival, and to mark the arrival of her brilliant new book - Slug and Other Things I've been Told to Hate
Hollie McNish is brilliantly funny, intelligent and relatable. She's a remarkable poet with a lot to say about life and all its twists, turns, terrors and moments of wonderment and joy.
Sharing a few of her most pressing thoughts on Happiful's podcast, Hollie shares that she is a little bit obsessed with touch and pleasure right now.
"Probably because of researching for my last book, where there's a few sections on touch and pleasure," she begins. "I've started to find it really annoying that touch and pleasure were so shamed as I was growing up but it's so enjoyable, if consensual, and so free and safe!"
"Certain things that we've shamed are the things that can give us the greatest and safest happiness in life".
