Scots language poet Len Pennie has been interviewed by The Scots Magazine ahead of the release of poyums, her debut poetry collection.

In this month’s ‘A Wee Blether With…’ feature, Len discusses her poetry and her publishing journey so far. Find the interview in the March ’24 issue here.

Whether she’s writing letters to her younger self, advocating for women’s rights or adapting fairy tales to process an abusive relationship, Len’s voice is bold, unashamedly frank and unmistakably hers.

The poems in this collection, both funny and fiercely feminist, announce a formidable new talent. Moving deftly between English and Scots, poyums is as approachable as it is affecting.

poyums will be released on 22nd February 2024 and is available for pre-order now. Grab your copy here.
