Two of Scotland’s most exciting poets working in Scots today come to WayWORD for an evening of discussion and readings from their debut collections. TikTok sensation Len Pennie’s fiercely feminist 'Poyums' became an instant 'Sunday Times' bestseller on its release, praised for its unflinching look at mental illness and domestic abuse, as well as its celebration of Scots. 2023 Scots Champion (Scots Language Awards) and winner of the 2024 Loud Poets Slam North Heat, Doric performer Shane Strachan’s 'DWAMS' looks anew at the Northeast through a fast-moving carousel of voices.
