Just spent a pleasant evening in the company of Hollie McNish. If you don't know who she is, check out her stuff on YouTube. She's a very able poet, slam poetry champ and all-round cool person who is doing a project here in Germany with some kids from a variety of European countries.
Her writing is mostly socially-engaged but witty and with a real edge.'Embarrassed' about breastfeeding has over 1.5 million hits on YouTube already & I would urge you all to seek her out. She has one published book, Papers, at the moment and another due out soon as well as a couple of audio collections available to download. My personal favourite is 'Ocean Floor' which begins with mermaids but then takes you in a direction you wouldn't expect.
