Len Pennie, the Scots language poet and author of the #2 Sunday Times-bestselling poetry collection poyums, will be taking part in a number of festivals this autumn.

You can catch Len at:

WAYWORD Festival, Aberdeen on Friday 27th September.

Byres Road Book Festival, Glasgow on Saturday 28th September.

Tidelines Festival, Irvine on Sunday 29th September.

Berwick Literature Festival, Berwick on Thursday 10^th October.

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.

Len’s debut collection, poyums, is a Sunday Times bestseller. Grab your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
