THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘I adore Lennie’s poetry’ NIGELLA LAWSON
‘Impressive … hugely entertaining and intelligent’ Scotsman
‘A poet who redefines what poetry is and who it is for’ LEMN SISSAY
‘The keeper and reinventor of the Scots language in the 21st century’ IAN MCMILLAN

A formidable follow-up to her award-winning debut poetry collection, Len Pennie’s poyums annaw is just like her: defiant and trailblazing. These poems are a call to arms, confronting ideas of patriarchy, gender-based violence and societal injustice with equal parts tenderness, quick-wit and righteous fury. Incisive and fiercely honest, poyums annaw firmly underscores Len’s place as a defining voice in contemporary poetry.
