And I have done more than just simply get by

So much more than escape or survive

Through the galvanisation of love, time and patience

I’ll take hold of my story and thrive

After life that was seldom what life ought to be

Through laughter and love I’ll be whole

This story is mine from the cover to spine

And the narrative I will control

Whether 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.

The 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.

POWERFUL ❤️‍🩹 Loved every minute, although I just understand every second word in Scots. Might have to listen to it a least 10 more times and surely will cry again.

Just one word:

I love the sound of the Scots language. Some of the lines stayed in my mind the whole day. Applicable to different situations actually.

Very emotional
