A new collection of poetry and prose from the Ted Hughes Award-winning author of Nobody Told Me.

From Finnish saunas and soppy otters to grief, grandparents and Kellogg's anti-masturbation pants, Slug is a book which holds a mirror lovingly up to the world, past and present, through Hollie's driving, funny, hopeful poetry and prose. Slug is about the human condition; of birth and death and how we manage the responsibilities in between.

"I'm choosing this book because it perfectly articulates a world I know and grew up in. I wish this book existed when I was a teen." - Kelly Jones
