poyums, the #2 Sunday Times-bestselling debut poetry collection by Scots-language poet Len Pennie, has been ranked as the #8 bestselling poetry title of 2024.

Congratulations, Len!

Subscribers can see the list in full 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.
