Len Pennie, the Scots language poet and author of the award-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling poetry collection poyums, will be appearing at Faversham Literary Festival on Friday 28th February.

On the day, Len will have a forty minute set, and will be followed by 10 other poets competing in a poetry slam! Don’t miss out: grab your tickets 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.

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