Available as Hardback, eBook, Downloadable audio
An incisive and fiercely honest poetry collection from Sunday Times bestselling author and performance poet sensation Len Pennie
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
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. Incisive and fiercely honest, poyums annaw firmly underscores Len’s place as a defining voice in contemporary poetry.
“A second, blistering collection that confronts patriarchy, gender-based violence and societal injustice with tenderness, a jousting wit and not a little righteous fury”
