I'm not sure I can say I have a favourite poet but if I were forced to choose the incredible Hollie McNish would be up there as a hot favourite.

Lizz Lidbury and I are talking about one of our favourite of her poems today Arguing in the Headmaster's Office. As the mother of teenage girls this one spoke to me (and is one of the only literature sources my older teen and I can both agree on the brilliance of!!)

It's clearly best when ready by Hollie herself so here's a link https://www.tiktok.com/@holliemcnish/video/7246103333604248859

Enjoy, we did!!
