Poet and author Hollie McNish returns for her third visit to Derby Book Festival. After a run of sold out shows up and down the UK, we can guarantee that her live readings are not to be missed. Her latest collection, 'Lobster and Other Things I’m learning to Love', brings her inimitable style to the question of what we have been taught to hate, and if we might learn to love again. As people, we are capable of both love and hate; amazement and disgust; fun and misery. So why do we live in a world that is constantly telling us to hate, both ourselves and others?

Expect strong language and adult content, gift- wrapped in gorgeously crafted poetry as she reads from this collection, plus a selection of firm favourites from Slug and Nobody Told Me.
