The Book
Hey Hollie!
I did one of your workshops when I studied abroad in Canterbury. When will your album be available in the U.S.? iTunes won’t let me buy it and it looks awesome!
oooh I didn’t know it wasn’t, damn! Will check! x
Ásgeir – In Harmony.
I hope this track brings comfort to you. Thankyou for coming to Belfast. I probably won’t be there but I wish every success. Keep writing. Paper refuses nothing.
Congratulations Hollie! We were routing for you at The contenders show and we’re so thrilled that you’ve won. Yey! The very best of luck.
Hannah & Kathryn xx

Hi!
I just watched you on Artsnight on bbc 2 and I was wondering if you could tell me what your piece is called that you perform at the very end as the final credits start.
Hey, it’s wow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qemJjwvUAUc&list=PLoO4iNsT-wp9V40864fwrvJQhwkYLJnxf&index=3 x

Hi Hollie,
I loved the poem on artsnight tonight. Where can I find it? Is it in your book?
Hi Nancy – it’s in a book coming out in Feb called Nobody Told Me: http://www.blackfriarsbooks.com/book/nobody-told-me/. Also on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qemJjwvUAUc&list=PLoO4iNsT-wp9V40864fwrvJQhwkYLJnxf&index=3
Thanks! x
Hi Hollie, would you be interested in presenting at our User and Carer’s conference at Salford university on 17th June this year. I loved your poetry at the UNICEF conference
I’m so sorry so slow on here – if you email Becky@johnsonandalcock.co.uk that’d be ace – probably too late but! x
Awesome stuff thanks so much! Just heard you for first time tonight on BBC 2 Artsnight (just a snippet but I’ve recorded it so looking forward to catching more!) and googled (!) you and read some of your poetry! Really inspiring and down to earth with the sh#@%y nitty gritty! Thanks xx
thanks a lot x
Hi Hollie
Just seen you on the Arts Night show. Being honest, I had never heard of you before but really enjoyed you and your poems. They touch a nerve of real life to me. Just ordered your book.
Thanks
Thanks a lot – really hope you enjoy it x
Hi Hollie, I came and saw you when you toured in April and you read a poem about childbirth (and men I think?) Can you tell me what its called? Is it on youtube? Thanks!
Aw it’s not up there, it’s in a new book in Feb! I think it’s Opposite Man. Actually – is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dadIRuEQPj4
Heard you on Woman’s Hour, Hollie. You’re so young and I’m now surprised to find I’m in my 60’s but you spoke for me like it was just yesterday. I was in the same position as you and all the women I worked with cooed and kept up the deception. Just one person, a man, gently said something along the lines of ” your life will change”. I still look back and appreciate his honesty. Like you said , you saw yourself walking along the beach, all lovely. My husband, who had instigated the pregnancy, took fright and left. I was 30 odd and dumped. Pain, anguish. My son was such hard work and I had no friends or help. Fast forward and the reality of those days is still vivid. But now, I have a strong 33’yr old who loves and supports me when I need it. I never told him how it was.
@Holliepoetry will you be performing in Leeds after Summer? I have a venue that is very interested and would love to speak to you about it? We absolutely love your work and would love to have you here!
Hi Hollie,
Sorry to be contacting you like this, I tried to reach you though Facebook but to no avail… I met you in Leeds last week at the University- I’d forgotten the copy of Nobody Told Me that I had bought for my sister who was giving birth the next day (Caesarian).
Well, she’s had the baby and flippin’ awesome she is too! (In fact my niece is flippin’ awesome too!) I was wondering if there was a way that I could obtain a signed/dedicated copy from you? PayPal perhaps?
Yeah if you email Oli@pagetoperformance.org that’d be great. I can do that or sign a matching postcard as a book mark for it xx
Hi Hollie, love your work. Where can I get a copy of the poem “you” ? My wife would love it
It’s in the book Nobody Told Me. Thanks a lot xxx
Can’t thank you both enough for being so gracious and signing your copy of Nobody Told Me. You were very much the talk of the day!
Hope That London was just as good for you/your audience.
Best wishes
Hey Hollie, I’m a bit late to your work but I’ve just finished Nobody Told Me, and as a mum to a 10 month old boy I want to thank you for writing this book. Forget all the books by so called experts; the ones I have stopped reading as they make me feel like a failure, your book is the one I am recommending to friends. Honest, down to earth, beautifully written and bloody funny. I’ve just given it to my partner to read now. Thank you x
thank you so much xxx
Just tried to buy Cherry Pie from Burning Eye, but wouldn’t take me beyond “a to cart”. Help.
ps heard you on radio 4 today and looking forward to hearing / reading more
You can get it off me if you want – I’ve sent them an email though too xxx https://holliemcnish.bandcamp.com
Just wanted to really say thank you for what i have read so far in Nobody Told Me. My wife saw you in Stamford and brought it back. It’s already made my life a little better. Also – it may be divided perfectly for reading on the toilet – which is pretty much my only quiet time. I hope it is safe to get that emotional on the dunny.
Love that! Thank you so much xxx
