POYUMS (PB)

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. Whether she's writing letters to her younger self, advocating for women's rights or adapting fairy tales to process an abusive relationship, Len Pennie’s voice is bold, unashamedly frank and assertively her own.
