Len Pennie’s book of Scots poetry poyums is out in the US this week, and you might have seen my post about her book launch earlier this week. Len is my guest today and we’re going to talk about:

• Poetry!
• Healing from trauma and abuse
• The subversive revolution of teaching a word a day in a minoritized language
• Using humor to overcome the “cultural hangover of linguistic oppression”
• More poetry!

TW/CW: discussion of intimate partner violence and domestic abuse, depression, stalking.
