For the past ten years Lemn Sissay has composed a poem each day as dawn breaks. Let the Light Pour In works the best of these into a collection of daily affirmations that radiate hope and wonder in times of darkness. We see Sissay battle his personal demons throughout, wrestling with the weight of the world in pursuit of a defiant and radical joy. A perfect uplifting read from one of the nation’s favourite poets.
