Poyums - Len Pennie

Descriere

nAnd I have done more than just simply get by nSo much more than escape or survive nThrough the galvanisation of love, time and patience nI'll take hold of my story and thrive. nAfter life that was seldom what life ought to be nThrough laughter and love I'll be whole nThis story is mine from the cover to spine nAnd the narrative I will control n nWhether she's writing letters to her younger self, advocating for women's rights or adapting fairy tales to process an abusive relationship, Len's voice is bold, unashamedly frank and unmistakably hers. n nThe 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.n
