Daisy is Insatiable with Holie McNishlie

Daisy is Insatiable

Welcome to Daisy Is Insatiable! We’re going to be exploring love, lust, life, appetite, identity and everything that makes sex thrilling, fascinating and bewildering. This week’s guest is the poet Hollie McNish. Hollie is a winner of the poetry society’s Ted Hughes award and has grown a huge, devoted following because of her amazing ability to take every aspect of our lives, our bodies, our sorrows and joys – and make them beautiful. We’re celebrating the upcoming publication of her new collection, Slug, coming in May. She’s written about breastfeeding and other bodily functions, and she’s written about yearning, desire and the emotions that make us shrink and soar. So we talked about masturbating. Hollie is thrillingly, deliciously frank. This is a conversation you might not want to share with young ears – although Hollie has some brilliant thoughts about how we can talk about self love with the young people we love in a real and meaningful way.

This is an explicit conversation that features adult themes and adult language. If you enjoy this episode, we hope you’ll enjoy Daisy’s novel Insatiable: A Love Story For Greedy Girls, published by Sphere and available from all retailers including Waterstones. https://www.waterstones.com/book/insatiable/daisy-buchanan/9780751582314
