Totally agree with you. Do you follow her on Insta? She does a lot of readings on there! We saw her perform in Oxford this year and she was utterly brilliant! Do go if you get the chance :)
I loved this! I haven't really read much poetry beyond school or remembering Pam Ayres poems! I love how modern this is and so relatable and true! Thanks!
It's funny how poetry gets lost after school days isn't it! As Sharon said above... words on the page don't do the poems justice, but if you watch her perform a couple then it's hard not to read them with her intonation (she's on YouTube and Insta) :)
Love this, I haven't heard of her so I'm going to be looking her up now for more 👏👏... so relatable and I giggled freely which felt wonderful , so thank you 🙏❤️
Love this poem. It’s so true that the world is based far too much on appearances and looks and children become a part of that before we know it. Maybe it’s because life is so busy that there is not time to look and think what is behind what we see.
I love Holly and would love to see her live. Her voice for me enhances the poetry beyond me reading it to myself

Have an Amazing Day. Keep warm xx

I love it! I love how poetry hits our mind and soul so differently than prose. Beautiful truisms put so simply.
Finding beauty in the everyday!
Love bringing to light the humble carrot! Funny how universal good poetry is - a gathering together of our common experience.
Thank you. I’d not heard of Holly before
You’re very welcome! Her most recent book Lobster is well worth a read too :)
Poetry can be so grounding. Loved it x
