About this Event

Celebrate World Poetry Day with friends and family at the stunning Collector's Hall in Glasgow City Centre.

Hear readings from Len Pennie who writes passionately about the promotion of minoritised languages, survivors of domestic abuse and the destigmatisation of mental illness. Her two poetry collections "poyums" and "poyums annaw" were instant Sunday Times bestsellers. "poyums" won Scots Book of the Year in 2024 and was the winner of the British Book Awards Discover Book of the Year in 2025.

Arrive to a welcome drink before hearing some poems from Len followed by a Q&A. There will also be a pop up shop with a chance to buy her books and have them signed.

Your ticket includes an arrival drink, a further glass of wine or soft drink and charcuterie platters. The bar will be open until 8 pm for any further drinks, teas or coffees.
