In the depths of the Covid pandemic Len Pennie's ‘Scots word of the day’ spread the joy of the Scots language to thousands. Her debut collection, Poyums, was an instant bestseller, and combines her wit and distinctive voice with her fierce feminism. She writes passionately about the promotion of minority languages, survivors of domestic abuse, and the destigmatisation of mental illness.
