There isn't a timescale for how you should healYour bad days are valid, your heartache is realBut so is the day that your smile will returnThat fire within you continues to burnYou will overcome this and continue to thriveYou are here, you are loved, you are whole, you're alive. A formidable follow up to her award-winning debut poetry collection, poyums, 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.
