poyums, the debut collection by Scots language poet Len Pennie, is now available for pre-order. You can pre-order your signed copy here now.

Described by The Bookseller as ‘one to watch’ this February, this is “poetry that channels rage, writ from the heart and burning incandescent (Lesley Benzie).

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.
