À travers une série de divagations pleines d'esprit et d'humour, Hollie McNish interroge le quotidien de nos vies et ses interdits, lutte contre toutes les injustices qui persistent dans notre société.
- Du tabou des règles aux diktats de la beauté, de l'expérience de la parentalité aux céréales anti-masturbation de Kellogg, Hollie McNish lutte contre les injonctions imposées par la société et questionne les différentes pressions exercées sur les femmes vis-à-vis de leur corps ou de leur sexualité.
- Entre poésie, récit et anecdotes personnelles, Hollie révèle les injustices de notre société. Sa vision enchantée sonde nos comportements et les décortique pour offrir des perspectives nouvelles de l'habiter poétiquement.
- Selon Kae Tempest, Hollie tend " les absurdités auxquelles nous sommes trop habitués et nous laissent voir le monde avec des yeux neufs. Sa poésie est galvanisante et belle. " -
A wise, rude, sharp poetry collection encompassing a life from childhood to attempted adulthood, from one of the most important poets of the new generation. ''She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love. She points out the absurdities we''ve grown too used to and lets us see the world with fresh eyes.'' - Kae Tempest Hollie McNish, winner of the Ted Hughes Award for Poetry, has thrilled and entranced audiences the length and breadth of the UK with her compelling and powerful performances. Plum , her debut for Picador Poetry, is a wise, sometimes rude and piercingly candid account of her memories from childhood to attempted adulthood. This is a book about growing up, about flesh, fruit, friendships, work and play - and the urgent need to find a voice for the poems that will somehow do the whole glorious riot of it justice. Throughout Plum , McNish allows her recent poems to be interrupted by earlier writing from her younger selves - voices that speak out from the past with disarming and often very funny results. Plum is a celebration, a salute to a life in which we are always growing, stumbling, falling, changing and discovering new selves to add to our own messy store. It will leave the reader in no doubt as to why McNish is considered one of the most important poets of the new generation.
