Poetry Lunch with Len Pennie

26 September, 2025, 12.30 p.m. – 2.30 p.m.

Andiamo, Milngavie, 1 Glasgow Rd, Milngavie, Glasgow G62 6AQ

Len Pennie in conversation  with Gillian Shirreffs

The wonderful, acclaimed poet Len Pennie will be at Andiamo, Milngavie chatting to author Dr Gillian Shirreffs about her book poyums annaw – and for a lunch of tasty Italian treats.

A formidable follow up to her award-winning debut poetry collection, Len Pennie’s poyums annaw is just like her: defiant, angry and trailblazing. These poems are a call to arms, confronting ideas of patriarchy, gender-based violence and societal injustice with equal parts tenderness, quick-wit and righteous fury. poyums annaw firmly cements Len as a defining voice in contemporary Scots poetry.
