Manage episode 287932052 series 2898124
Hollie McNish is a poet, writer and Ted Hughes Award-winning author of Nobody Told Me – a collection of poems and stories about raising a child in modern Britain..
Hollie writes with raw honesty, warmth and humour, but as well as great critical and mainstream success, she’s also had her fair share of setbacks and her work articulates perfectly the ‘everyday sadness’ that we all experience.
In this episode, Hollie and Helen chat:
- Motherhood myths
- The commercialisation of parenthood
- The frustrations of modern life
- Guilt
- Class and snobbery
- Online abuse
- Not belittling our sadness
- The unexpected freedoms of being a single parent
- Sting’s next project…
- …and reframing selfies as ‘the oil paintings of the Tinder age’
Trigger: suicide
