THE INSTANT No.2 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER And I have done more than just simply get by So much more than escape or survive Through the galvanisation of love, time and patience I’ll take hold of my story and thrive. After life that was seldom what life ought to be Through laughter and love I’ll be whole This story is mine from the cover to spine And the narrative I will control 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.

5 Stars and, most importantly, I now like poetry! ā€¢ "Poyums" by Len Pennie is a collection of poetry in both English and Scots, reflecting her advocacy for the Scots language and mental health. Pennie gained popularity on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland, where she posted Scots word of the day videos. ā¬‡ļø¸

suvata The poems in "Poyums" touch on various themes, including feminism and experiences of abuse, and Pennie's work has been celebrated for its humor, honesty, and the unique perspective it offers on language and identity. The book was well-received, becoming an instant bestseller in the UK, and Pennie has been recognized for her contributions to poetry and the promotion of the Scots language.

Len Pennie's poyums is phenomenal! Written in a mix of Scots and English, the collection is hard hitting and emotionally resonant. Truly brilliant writing.
