VIRGIN (POEMS) (HB)

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. At times hilarious, at times harrowing, always hopeful.
