Len Pennie: Young poet on ‘celebrating’ Scots language

Len Pennie first became known during the pandemic, when she began posting a Scots word of the day on social media. Then, seeking an outlet for the pain of an abusive relationship she’d just escaped, she turned to poetry.

This year, the 25-year-old became the first poet in a decade to win at the British Book Awards. Now she’s publishing a new collection of poems – in Scots and English.
