Description
From Len Pennie, the performance poet sensation, comes an electric debut collection about loving, learning, surviving, growing and giving an instant Sunday Times bestseller
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES, THE TIMES, SUNDAY POST AND iPAPER BESTSELLER
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
Ill take hold of my story and thrive.
After life that was seldom what life ought to be
Through laughter and love Ill be whole
This story is mine from the cover to spine
And the narrative I will control
Whether shes writing letters to her younger self, advocating for womens rights or adapting fairy tales to process an abusive relationship, Lens 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.
