Her first collection of poetry, The Met Office Advises Caution, was published by Carcanet Press in 2016[3][4] and was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry's First Collection Poetry Prize in 2017.[5] Early lifeWatts is from Suffolk. She studied English at Trinity College, Cambridge and received a Master degree in English literature from Oxford.[2] She works part-time in a library in Cambridge.[2] Literary careerIn 2018 Watts refused to review Hollie Mcnish's poetry collection Plum for P. N. Review, instead writing a polemical article titled "Cult of the Noble Amateur" in which she stated the following: "Plum is the product not of a poet but of a personality. I was supposed to be reviewing it, but to do so for a poetry journal would imply that it deserves to be taken seriously as poetry. Besides, I was too distracted by the pathological attitude of its faux-naïve author, and too offended by its editor’s exemplary bad faith, to ignore the broader questions it provokes."[6] Although the article began from this point Watts also discussed the work of poets such as Rupi Kaur and Kate Tempest. This article subsequently received coverage in several national news outlets such as The Guardian, which described it as, variously "excoriating", "a stinging critique" and "Giving a fresh meaning to the notion of a poetry slam"[7] Watts was also interviewed on Front Row as a result of this article.[8] Responses to the article also appeared elsewhere - an article written for The Times Literary Supplement stated "So: Hollie McNish is a terrible poet. Or: Hollie McNish is a wonderful poet. Leave her alone, OK? As ever, the people who care, or pretend to care, about poetry cannot make up their collective mind. This time round, it is an essay in the latest issue of the poetry magazine PN Review, “The Cult of the Noble Amateur”".[9] McNish, stated on her blog "I just feel like this is an extremely one-sided piece and if it’s going to be used to prove how shite and attention-seeking I am, I’d like a space to stand up for myself", before going on to provide a line by line response to the essay.[10] Publications
