About this listen

There isn't a timescale for how you should heal
Your bad days are valid, your heartache is real
But so is the day that your smile will return
That fire within you continues to burn
You will overcome this and continue to thrive
You are here, you are loved, you are whole, you're alive.

A formidable follow up to her award-winning debut poetry collection, Len Pennie’s poyums annaw is just like her: defiant, angry 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. poyums annaw firmly cements Len as a defining voice in contemporary Scots poetry.

Critic reviews

Praise for Poyums: 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)
I adore Lennie's poetry (NIGELLA LAWSON)
An unforgettable voice that takes on the power of English and Scots and lingers in the spaces in-between. These poyums made me wince, laugh and marvel (SUSIE DENT)
A wonderful debut, these poems are packed with courage and truth and fierce fire, I found vulnerability and tenderness shared here and also brutal honesty, this book is a bold and beautiful rallying cry (SALENA GODDEN)
Len Pennie shares hersel, hert and soul, in this brilliant collection. Stunningly honest, vivid and skilled, her poyums bleeze wi passion, power and beauty, skinkle wi beautiful gems of language (ANNE DONOVAN)
Lively and honest, accessible and full of spirit, Len Pennie has a way of cutting direct to the heart of the matter, of saying what should be said, in the way it should be said, that is central to poetry (HARRY JOSEPHINE GILES)
Hugely inspirational to so many people from all walks of life, but especially for our next generation of young women (LORNA CALLERY-SITHOLE)
